I see person I look up to and want to be, they have animals that yeah, I like.

I immediately start planning on owning said animal, read up a lot on animal, learn to take proper care of animal.

Acquire animal. Live with animal happily for a while.

Suddenly extreme regret of getting animal. Want to find new owner for animal, don't want to deal with animal.

Tbh I feel like the only animal I can take care of are cats. Anything else I just get overwhelmed with or unhappy with. Now I feel like a garbage human and feel stuck with an animal I don't want anymore, because my bf likes it, my family knows about the animal, etc. Awesome.
