ok, it's risky and could have dire consequences, and admittedly, this has NEVER worked any of the times I've tried it, BUT... you could take a new puppy and throw it into a barrel full of water with a heavy lid... and it MIGHT drown... but theoretically, there is a slight, but present chance that it might display a proclivity for alternative means of respiration. Whether gills are necessary or not, I'm not sure, but i'd only recommend this in the most dire of circumstances. For what it's worth, Chia Pets are very loyal and easy to train.
i went through the same thing when i was first in college. my first solution was having alot of sex with alot of people, which actually had nothing to do with the fact i wanted a pet, but justifying things is key. of course, as my mom says.. if you have to justify it, it's wrong, so. my second solution was trying to have a cat and keep it hidden. well, that cat has lived at my parent's house since about a week after i got it. my third, and final, solution was to get the fuck out of the dorms and into an apartment. that worked. of course, by that time i couldn't afford the pet deposit so i'm still sans pet. i'm full of horrible advice tonight.
isn't there such thing as a mudpuppy? don't they have a gills?
There is a type of goldfish that makes a good companion animal. They actualy get attached to you. I forget what there called though. Ill get back to you on that one
