Instant cancel when I get one of those comments, regardless of what pet it's on.
My response: I already have a Best Friend, and I am not currently accepting applications for that position.
Why do people feel the need to offer friendship in exchange for pets? I'd much rather trade pets.
Maybe I'm old, but 'best friends' use to mean something... I cherish the whole friendship idea, and all my friends mean a lot to me. Even so, "Best Friend" is a title I've only ever given to one person. It has survived a 15 year friendship, and moving to different ends of the country. It's a title she'll be stuck with until I die! XD
We both have the same understanding of what the term means: we put the same value on it. I'm sure that's the only reason our relationship works. It's not a title I would trust to someone whom I've never met. >.>
I find it arrogant that they think offering "their friendship" (the friendship of a complete stranger) is worth anything at all to me. Be it my prize pet or this month's common. And while I have, occasionally, given away free pets and items to people when I saw that they didn't have much, it's never to people who ask for it! And never to people who offer falsities in exchange. -_-
as you can probably tell, I'm quite passionate on this issue. >.>
