#and Boes like ''woah hey watch it buddy.'' and THEN it clicks

[skeletalheartattack]

Does Boe have any other pets?

unless you consider the infomaniac to be a pet (non-canon), nope! just Budd!!

i don't think Boe could handle another pet, i.e. having to focus his attention between two animals in his home. i also feel like, Boe would be like ''if i get another pet, will Budd feel bad? i can't let that dude feel any ounce of bad feelings. he's done so much for me, i can't hurt his heart like that''. Boe's kinda lonely, but I imagine Budd is enough for Boe to feel less so, yknow? plus i have this whole headcanon in my brain of the fact Budd eats the literal trash in his house (pictured below)

(cont.) and. its a metaphor for like, Budd cleaning the cobwebs out of Boes life, and just kinda helping Boe live a cleaner life yknow, like literally (or, cleaning the depression out of his life to the best of it's ability). and i feel like at first Boe doesn't understand that, but like at some point it clicks. and he looks at this single creature. and is like "you know what you're doing, don't you." AND THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON I WANTED BUDDS NAME TO BE INSTANTLY UNDERSTOOD, like!!! i want you to hear his name and understand "oh that's Boes buddy!!! he loves him so much he named him buddy!!! hes that special to him!!!" like i think that's what's special about Boe having this pooch. it's not just "oh that's my baby boy :) that's my sweet little man", it's "this guy has seen what ive been through and how i live, and does his best to help clean me up. he deserves the best, and ill give him what i can." LIKE THAT'S IT!!!! THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT BABES!!!

But yeah! I think Boes perfectly content with Budd/Buddy. I don't feel like Boe would want him to feel any ounce of jealousy or envy. like these two creatures look at eachother like "this entity is the silliest dude ive ever seen. they know me in and out. i love them". and i think that's just enough for Boe right now :...)
