What animals make the best/worst pets?

Personally, I would think a small dog would make the perfect pet, however, a Tasmanian Devil may be the worse option…

“Taz the Terrible: A Pet Disaster“

Oh, Taz the Tasmanian Devil’s a sight,

A whirlwind of teeth, and a voracious bite!

You’d think he’d be fun—just a wacky, wild dude,

Trust me, as pets go, Taz is downright rude.

He’ll spin through your kitchen and swallow your steak,

Then gulp down the plates (yes, the plates he will take!).

Your couch? Just a snack!

Your TV? Dessert!

Your shoes? A light bite—hope that doesn’t hurt!

He’ll dig up the turf like a furry tornado,

Turn your rose bush to dust—poof!—

see ya later, Gladiolas!

He’ll chase all your neighbors (and postmen, and cats),

And chew up your car like a pack of wild rats.

You’ll yell, “Bad Taz! No! Down! Sit! and Stay!”

But he’ll just blink once… then eat anyway.

So unless you want chaos and lifelong regret,

Stick with a goldfish—they’re tame… mostly… yet.

Moral of the story? Don’t tempt fate, my friend,

Some roommates are best when they’re cartoons that end! 😆
