These are some of the pets that I want.
1) Westhighland White Terrier - Little dog that doesn't know its a dog and has LOTS of Attitude.
2) Suger Glider - They make wonderful pets, if you have the time to spend with them.
3) Horses - American Quarter horses specifically. Some people don't consider them actual pets, but I do!
4) Triceratops(dream pet) - So I can ride him around town wielding my light saber.
I think I'll start with the Westie first.

Not too sure if I'd make a good pet!
Well....on the other hand.. Will you feed, bathe and pet me?
Not in that order necessarily!
BTW I don't fetch slippers.

Who wouldn't want such a life? Someone to take care of you and not expect a whole lot in return!
I'm kinda fiesty...might not make a good pet.

I absolutely can't have pets, I can't take care of anything living, not even plants. If I could, I'd like to have a beautiful emerald boa or green tree python. They look and behave identical, leaf green arboreal snakes who spend their days hanging coiled at a branch, waiting for a prey to pass by.
I'd also like a sweet furry tarantula, there are so many pretty subspecies.
Look at
this stunning South East Asian one, for instance.

Kind of resembles a nicely colored Volkswagen, when you think about it.
Still, the furry kind excrete a sort of itching poison along their hair to drive away predators. I don't know if the painted blue variety does that, but I'm willing to bet that, given its bright coloration, it does *something* unspeakably nasty to keep curiosity seekers at bay.

Hmmm...
I would love to keep a wolf/german shepherd again. A beautiful animal, very large, and fun to wrestle with.
Also mischevious, and highly intelligent in a cunning and delightful manner.
Other than that, I would love to keep a Mountain Gorilla. Yeah, I know, he'd eat the produce section of the local grocery stores clean every week, but he sure would be an interesting friend to have around. Guaranteed safe passage in dark alleys.
Er, not something you would want to wrestle, though.

Yes, many tarantulas seems to have the habit to kick away lots of irritating hair on their predators, and the beautiful blue species is no exception. Instead, this blue type is unusually aggressive and very fast, so it cannot be handled, one should use a jar when the spider has to be moved. So it's a bit like T', pretty but dangerous

I have always wanted a dolphin...
...but not as a pet, but as a regular friend I could hang out with by the sea.

Nice one @Mah - but as you stated - no pet, more like a friend.
As a PET I'd prefer a Siberian Tiger or - if we're talking RPG - a Gryphon.
No worries,

What's a Gryphon then?

"...griffins are beasts like lions, with the wings and beak of an eagle."
"More fierce than dragons, more noble than unicorns..."

The Gryphon

OWL! I want an owl!
Or, any birds of play will do. They are really handsom and beautiful, and know what to do when they find a weasel on the loose.
If not, I'd have penguins.
