I would love to get my kids a dog, but dogs are so much work!
We probably won't be an animal raising family.

Nope, we have our two fur babies that will hopefully be around for at least ten years...

We have two dogs already and I GUESS I can share them with the future-kids.

We have a pup now! We have really really wanted to get her a companion so we are hoping when LO is a little older to get a puppy. But we'll see.

We already have a dog. I'm pretty sure we'll always have a dog.

Heck no! I am fleabag-free by choice. At most, we'll have one very tidy cat.

We have a dog and hope she is still around for a good number of years after our kids are born.

I want a dog, for me! I told DH yesterday that I want him to get me a big dog that I'll name Sherlock.
We have decided however, not to have indoor pets. We'll probably have a few outdoor ones though, when LO's come along.

Nope. One child is enough to clean up after, not adding a dog to the mix.

Probably only something lower maintenance....like a fish tank. Although that still requires work. I would rather not have any pets!

Already have two dogs, and to be honest I have difficulty with the idea of getting a pet FOR a child. Our dogs will be very near equals with the kids:)

We have two dogs but they are SO high maintenance. I'm so done with dogs when our two pass away someday in the far away future. Our LO will have the experience of dogs when she is little. We can't get cats because my husband is allergic. I miss having cats. They're so EASY!

We have a cat, and plan to get a dog in the future. I don't agree with the idea of getting pets FOR kids though (except maybe fish). Any animals we get are just family pets, owned by the entire family.

We have a pup now who will hopefully be around for another ten years or so. At that point I don't know if we'll get another one. I do think having animals who need care in your home is a great way to teach kids some responsibility.
