I used to have a black lab\chow mix. Was absolutely adorable, but he liked to destroy stuff. After he ruined literally ALL the furniture he could get to, we decided it was best he get given to one of my dad's friends.
NOW though, I have snails. Snails are wonderful pets. They don't destroy nothing. They don't smell. You barely have to feed them. Sure, they're kinda boring, but it's better than having to replace a shitpile of stuff cause the dog ate it.
Plus I'm looking at getting either a tarantula or scorpion later this year. I've always wanted one of those.
