OP here.
No cats. I hate cats, all cats I've been in contact with have been a-holes, which tends to play towards the stereotype of cats as a whole. I would really much prefer a dog.
Honestly I'm just looking for a companion pet to chill out with when I get home from work, pet it whenever I want (so nice and furry, not like a chihuahua). I'd like something on the smaller side, although I'm willing to change that if need be. Would a German Shepherd be alright? I know it's another working dog, but it is a larger breed however.
What would you say are the more relaxed breeds of dogs that I might be able to look into, that would be content to have the house (or at least the yard) to themselves while I was away at work?
Was thinking about getting a chinchilla a while back, seemed perfect except that apparently people say they are skiddish and don't like to be held. Is this true, or is there some way to get one that does enjoy being held/petted? I could provide it with a big cage and a room to itself, that isn't a problem, I just don't want to get one and then have it basically tell me to eff off whenever I wanted to hold/pet it. Exotics are always interesting, but a good vet might be hard to find.
