"tenant shall not keep dog(s) on premises.

  • A (1) sheep is permitted"

At what point does an life form become a pet? Can a particularly mobile carnivorous plant be a pet? If you refuse to take down a spider web and shoo flies toward it, does the spider become a pet? If you release ladybugs in your apartment to cull aphids, are they pets? If you briefly tend a goat to sacrifice it to Morlak, lord of dreams, to steal everything but your landlord’s nightmares, is the goat a pet?

I’ll admit, you had me in the first half

Well, it’s equal parts joke and legitimate question. I find social lines, like friend and acquaintance, similarly blurred. “Pet” is so vague.

Christian landlord: A wolf in sheep’s clothing takes note while shaking head

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Is this a sheepdog?

Did the landlord sing "no dogs allowed, but sheep are cool" like in the Snoopy cartoons?

"Never said anything about sheep".

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

It says dogs you're allowed one

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

My experience so far is that most places say they don't accept them but if you ask and you have a small dog, they'll prefer taking a chance instead of leaving the place empty... But if you've got a big dog and you don't own your own place then... You made some bad choices...

I had a large-ish (27kg) dog when I was looking for a place to rent in 2019, after my family was forced out of our home by a flood.

According to you, I should have made a better choice and stopped the flood somehow.

Oh my, you were an exception, how does it makes you feel? ☺️

Did you read the part about "owning your own place"? You technically did, you just had to move temporarily due to exceptional circumstances, that's not the same thing as buying a big dog and expecting to be able to easily find somewhere to rent.

You said none of that in your comment, but go off i guess.
