Hi Sharon...
This isn't a nightmare. In my professional opinion you want a pet and you're just looking for an excuse to get one...like needing one to write a LITRPG book!
I can't say that I yearn for a pet at all. I currently entertain 3 lovely feline ladies (2 of which are the least feral and seek my company; one of them sleeps at the foot of my bed). I *do* however miss having a dog (my last buddy is here: [http sent to you in a direct message]) ..but my current lifestyle (being away from the home all day to operate a bookshop) would not be a fair relationship.
Ciao!
