RIP my giant, sassy momma's boy.
Diego was one of our family's 5 horses when I was growing up. I was "born into" a stable with 3 geldings, and rode like a wild child without even bothering with saddles or even a proper bridle. The way those geldings were, only one ever really needed to be ridden with caution (of course it was our mustang).
Cool was our only girl horse. She's Diegos momma. She was 1 month older than me exactly when I found her while shopping for my own show horse at 9 years old. But miss Cool had a predicament: the most expensive and giant stud on the ranch had sneakily impregnated her, and the vet's die not recommend "allowing full pregnancy." She was slated to get pregnant to popping and then sold for dog food, baby and all. She very immediately was rescued by my family. She was not a ridin' horse. Neither much was Diego. So I gave up showing horses for them, which frankly, is fine by me. Diego was a fine patrol horse and he and I volunteered time with local search parties. He came in handy, and it will be very hard to, one day, choose to open my heart to another horse. But I plan to do so eventually. I'll never find an animal who can give me a concussion like Diego did, what a catch lmao

I remember at the pet store (as a young child) we were allowed to choose whatever freshwater fish we wanted, but only like $5 worth or something. They were selling these zebra danios for $0.25/ea, so I just maxed out on those. They were definitely the cheapest fish.
Fast forward some years and the aquarium had undergone a couple different diseases or something. Most of the original fish had died, but those fricking danios kept going. They got really big too, and sometimes one would get pregnant and the tank would be full of hundreds of tiny little baby fish (which were promptly eaten by the other fish lmao).
Anyways fish are decorations not pets. imo you need to be able to form some kind of bond w/ an animal for it to be a "pet".
