Do you think I should get a couple of bunnies?

I know they wouldn't live for very long, and I'm afraid of falling in love and then they die. But at the same time it would make me feel like I had purpose in my life, and give me a hobby. I got excited to think about getting them. Do you think owning a pet is worth the pain you feel when they die?

This is a very tough question. I've lost a dog before and I swore I would never get another. Now I have 3. They will certainly give you priceless memories and those will stay with you beyond their lifetime.

@freebird: i feel ok about having cats and dogs because they normally live longer. but the little pets don't seem to live very long.

@AliceinWonderland: Pets live far too short of a lifetime, that's for sure. Different animals bond differently with people. I've never had a rabbit, but I'm sure I would be very sad to lose any kind of pet.
