Please never gift a pet

where do I put my name to be on the list for this party?
just to be a bit of a devil that advocates thingies, i lost my pooch a bit ago and my family asked when they could get me a new pup. i told them i needed time and maybe around my upcoming bday. so, i think if its been discussed in some fashion... i think it okays.
but i do understand the overall point and i don't disagree - surprise pets tend to be a bad move.
Pets should never be a surprise for sure. Having an idea that you've got one coming and being willing to take care of it is another story altogether
