Please never gift a pet
just to be a bit of a devil that advocates thingies, i lost my pooch a bit ago and my family asked when they could get me a new pup. i told them i needed time and maybe around my upcoming bday. so, i think if its been discussed in some fashion… i think it okays.
but i do understand the overall point and i don’t disagree - surprise pets tend to be a bad move.
Pets should never be a surprise for sure. Having an idea that you’ve got one coming and being willing to take care of it is another story altogether

I mean I see were you are going but if they already wanted and you confirmed, like if the kid has wanted it and you are the parent or you talked with their parents, etc… it’s not that crazy.
I mean maybe I would go and make a gift card or something saying they can get it as a presen and if they are ok with it you then get it, ideally adopting of course.
Paying for something someone wants isn’t the same as a surprise gift.
A parent buying a pet for their kids is actually a parent buying a pet for themselves; the parents very well know the pet is ultimately their responsibility.
I don’t think anyone is saying to not do those things. It’s the surprise of a pet that is heinous.
Can still be a surprise that they want it doesn’t mean they expect it.
certainly
Now you know one reason why you should always ask who a gift is for instead of assuming.
How would the confusing meme work if we can’t assume that the protag is somehow idiotically/unrealistically confusing their own gift with the dogs?
I see no problem here

good heavens the amount of absolute degens in these comments is staggering
I think I knew I was entering into the domain of mental illness when I came into the comments.
I’m still disappointed, but not surprised.
