Coffee, I can say, can spark the most unusual conversations ever, from What did you think about my yellow pony? To If anchor babies are a thing, why can’t anchor pets exist?
We all know that one couple that adopt a pet, it’s so cute to like their Instagram pics, read the reason behind their plus one on Facebook. Heck, if that person is close to us, we even ask their struggle to pick a name. And hey, everything’s dandy until…the break-up. Then they are left like Jesse & Joy’s song “¿Con quien se queda el perro?”, debating on who would take better care of their pet-child or who does the pet love more.

After everything that goes on after a breakup, especially when you’re in college, it seems that pets acquired during a relationship turn from the best idea ever, to becoming a linchpin that exes use as an excuse to never disappear from your life. The usual comments of the pet’s well-being turn into a kind of justification for them to keep popping up: “it was my idea to adopt? Have you taken Skippy to the vet? Hey there’s some free vaccination at the park, you wanna go? I zoomed on the Insta pic you posted yesterday, and he looks skinny, are you feeding him well?”
The aftermath of anchor pets is a real dilemma nowadays. It sort of becomes your personal nightmare. Now, I’ve had my share of people who have adopted pets with their special someone. Either because they both love animals or because they think it will strengthen the relationship.
The constant fixation of the ex to re-spark mutual feelings through a fake concern of Skippy, the pet’s grief-stricken look, are just a few things that will surely get to you at some point. But let’s be honest, animals, although beautiful, adorable, and joyful beings cannot replace the most important elements of a relationship. So next time you think of getting a pet with your hubby, think about it, can “Pinky” be used as an anchor pet?
