I'm a bit more tolerant, but barking dogs drives my husband CRAZY. You've definitely got to be a responsible, considerate person to own a pet.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677953607599406624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560480783927243898.post-73187902588162003002008-04-09T07:31:00.000-06:002008-04-09T07:31:00.000-06:00Plus.. if you add up food/ vet bill for a year.. y...Plus.. if you add up food/ vet bill for a year.. you have to want to be a pet owner to the tune of $1,500 per year according to a recent local news story.<BR/><BR/>In addition to that, if you're going to be a pet owner.. be a good one. We live in a nice neighborhood, but several of our neighbors allow their dogs out to poo on our lawn. (The city's walking path is also strewn with dog manure) We never have said anything to our neighbors.. what's the point.. but it doesn't endear them to us. We also hate when indoor pets are left outdoors while their owners are away. Our neighbors dog barks constantly from the time she leaves for work until the time she gets home. We both work at home and don't think that's OK. <BR/><BR/>We kind of feel like we signed up for pets when we really didn't.<BR/><BR/>I think to be a good pet owner is actually a whole lot more work than most people are really willing to do.love.boxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450621259116289517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560480783927243898.post-58075578345333120452008-04-08T20:37:00.000-06:002008-04-08T20:37:00.000-06:00I must admit, any time we go into the pet store/hu...I must admit, any time we go into the pet store/humane society I have to really remind myself that:1)No. I don't need ANOTHER dog<BR/>2)Yes. I would be the one taking care of it.<BR/>3)Yes. Meg would like it for a week and then change and say she wanted a cat (if we picked a dog), or a dog (if we got a cat).<BR/><BR/>I could easily walk out with a new family friend everytime if the reality wasn't there. So many choices. So many cute faces. I agree that the Humane Society is the way to go! Even if, for now, it is just petting through cages and then leaving.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349888995330670135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560480783927243898.post-24061597087419851762008-04-08T19:31:00.000-06:002008-04-08T19:31:00.000-06:00The Humane Society is the way to go for sure.

She can come over any time for some kitty time.Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344532117266689760noreply@blogger.com
