You like to do things first, and your Aquarius pet likes to do things differently. It turns out those two instincts get along brilliantly. Your pet has their own ideas about where to nap, which object counts as a toy and what time the day officially starts, and you find all of it delightful. You bring energy and bravery. They bring originality and a friendly, slightly alien charm. You spend a lot of time asking each other, silently, what on earth you are doing.
This is an easy friendship with plenty of freedom. Neither of you needs constant closeness to feel close. You can each go off on your own project and meet up in the middle of the living room for a burst of play. Your Aquarius pet respects your independence and you respect their strangeness. Both are rare.
If your Aquarius is a dog
Your Aquarius dog has invented a game involving one specific leaf and one specific corner of the yard, and they would like you to join. You say yes, because that is what Aries owners do. They are friendly with every dog and every person, in their own quirky way.
Meet the Aquarius dogIf your Aquarius is a cat
An Aries owner and an Aquarius cat: your cat sleeps in the bathroom sink, greets you from the top of the door and ignores the fancy new bed completely. You love the chaos of it. Give them odd perches and new things to investigate and they will stay endlessly surprising.

A new game night: once a week, try something neither of you has done before, a new toy, a new spot, a new silly routine. Your Aquarius pet will have notes.
