But we k;now that after a week, the reality of caring for a pet hits the child. After that, mom is the one who feeds the dog, walks it, and especially, cleans up the poop.
the kids just want the fun of a pet, but not the work.
Our daughter wanted a horse so badly. I talked to the stable owner and arranged for her and her best friend to not only go riding but to muck out stables and curry the horses. That stopped the begging for a horse.
