Lately my kids have been trying to get me to buy a dog. I’m definitely a dog person (no matter what a quiz I recently took says) so I’m very happy they are interested in getting a dog over a cat. But it’s not time for one yet. I told them that when they are willing to clean up after a dog, I’ll get one. I have two more kids to potty train and I don’t think I’m ready to try to do that with a pet. Fortunately, the kids will give me the practice I need so that one day, I’ll be ready for one.
In the mean time, if I (or you for that matter) need pet information I can check out informational sites and blogs. For example “Thoughts Fur Paws” (cute name) helped me learn about car insurance for pets. Who knew there was such a thing? I know there is medical insurance for pets but this is a new one for me.
I also learned more about pet mills. I’ve always heard that you should get a pet from the pound but now I know it’s not just to save ‘pound pets’ but to decrease the demand for milled pets.
Yeah! I was hoping that they’d be dog people! (Not that I was trying to encourage them one way or the other by sending them every book about dogs I came across, starting with the “Touch and Feel Puppy”.)
