Is it normal that I'm sick of peoples' pets?

Honestly, I prefer to have animal people in my life as a opposed to non animal people. Of course I haven't had a roommate since college. My suite mate snuck a kitten into the dorm and my roommate and I never complained. If anything we all got much closer. Those were good times.

But, on the flip side my second ex husband went out and adopted a one year old dog who was not housebroken and I was not amused. Honestly, I never even let him bring it in my house.

I guess when it comes to animals my basic policy is I prefer older ones that are already trained and babies that are being well trained and cleaned up after by their owners. I love animals but I can't stand lazy selfish owners who don't care properly for their pets. Having a pet is a huge commitment and one I'm very happy I made! I'm very committed and grateful for my Siamese cat and I would do just about anything for my sister's poodle but I certainly don't want strange, poorly behaved animals put upon me without my consent. So, all in all I think the problem is more about lazy, irresponsible people than about companion animals per se.
