A pet is also not a Easter present, a housewarming gift, a new baby gift, a wedding present, or a birthday present. Giving someone a puppy is like giving them a newborn human baby as a present,,how many of us would do that?! A pet is a long term commitment, not a pick me up, just like kids.

good for you Sammi, a pet, no matter what kind is a friend, and loyal companion. Love my dog and would not trade her for a designer pet of any kind.

That’s right! And also, “a rabbit is not just for Easter”.

Most of the cats that I have had over the past few years are ones that have come knocking on my door, asking when supper was.

I feel sorry for these so-called “designer” pets. They are not accessories and they deserve the same love and attention as any stray off the street.

Sing it Sister. And a stray is not icky. Once it has had a bath and gotten shots it is the same as every other dog out there.

Atta girl, you said it!!!! Adopt, adopt, adopt……..Pedigree dogs and cats, etc are over-bred and shelter pets are just as good if not better…….

Yes. Getting a dog is a lifetime commitment. Sadly, for the dog’s lifetime, not yours.
