The closest animal to you.

[Brandon237]

Any one of my 5 cats at this point, they are just a room away. Possibly one of my small dogs too.

 

[RandomMab]

The English bulldog who spends most of his days laying down on a couch in my living room.

 

[T-Bone24]

My mother.

There is a bird's nest outside.

 

[Slenn]

The closest animal to me is a pit-bull mix named Fibby. So named because when we found her, we found her astray and she got hit by a car and broke her fibula (hence Fibby). I love that dog, she's the dog I've always wanted.

 

[ldbmikey86]

my dog is on the couch in the next room over.

 

[Lieju]

Excluding all the microscopic critters, one of my Grammostola rosea slings.

A baby tarantula. I keep the small ones on my desk.

 

[feeback06]

My jet black kitten, Cricket.

 

[Harlemura]

A cat with really mucky paws because she fell over in oil or something. Dopey old thing...
Although a rat's probably closer. Apparently, you're never more than 2 feet away from a rat. Fun fact that may or may not be true.

 

[Argtee]

My dogs.
[sub] That's right, more than one![/sub]

They're sleeping on the couch.

 

[s0p0g]

a moth, flying around - and especially right inside - a lamp of mine
why does it do it? seriously, doesn't it recognise it's dead brethren in there??

 

[Ickorus]

A parrot that really wants me to stroke her.

 

[Minjoltr]

I bet there's a spider somewhere hereabouts.

 

[Luke5515]

My bet Buddy. He lives in the basement under the sink. He's a spider.

 

[killcheese]

my black cat which is sitting on my lap.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

My dog osiris is next to me. :3

 

[Blackmagic1515]

Two lovebirds, in the room next door. Who are actually being quiet for a change.

 

[War Penguin]

A fly.
...
Now it's a dead fly.

 

[JWW]

A dog. Or else a cat.

 

[Hosker]

More than likely spiders, if not the fish.
