Pets

Did you know?
In 2006, nearly half of pet owners, or 49.7%, considered their pets to be family members. There are more than 72 million pet dogs in the U.S. and nearly 82 million pet cats. The average veterinary expenditure per household for all pets was $366 in 2006. Among horse-owning households, 61.1% had at least one visit to the veterinarian in 2006, an increase of 11.9% from 2001.

Pets are huge responsibility, a lot of children want pets and their parents always say no because they are too big of reasonability.
Pets are really great companions. Dogs are so great, they are considered to be man’s best friend. They are so great that police, and firefighters use them on their “squads”.
There are all kinds of pets, for all kinds of people. There are goldfish for the kids, because they don’t require too much maintenance but enough to keep the children interested.
I think that the dog is one of the most responsibility-taking pet. Because they need to be played with, be let out to go to the bathroom, feed them, train them, and pick up after them.
A cat is a little less of a responsibility because they have a litter box, and they don’t need to be trained. Then there are reptiles, which are great, but they can’t really roam around. And they are neat pets to have.
