My family has had pets since I was a toddler. I love animals and get attached to pets.

When I was in my early 20s, my roommate wanted to bring his dog from his parents' house to live in our apt. I told him, "that's fine, but I'm not going to be responsible for it in any way. I'll pet it and play with it and I may occasionally walk/feed it or something, but don't count on me doing anything with it. They are a ton of work, and I'm barely responsible for myself." That was the last that I heard about it. I don't know if he was planning on me helping or if my statement clicked for him.
