My Rainbow Bridge Please, Join Me Here. Write Your Stories
I talked to a friend who lost her dog recently. (I just lost 2 of my precious dogs - Benny & Dukie). She says that her way to get over the grief is to celebrate their life by writing about the good, the funny and even the aggravating stories of their life! What a great idea.

Thinking about acquiring a new pet? A pet is a commitment for 10 – 20 years, and the decision to bring one into your home and life should not be made lightly, or on the spur of the moment. Acquiring a pet for the wrong reasons, or bringing home the wrong type of pet for your lifestyle or environment, is a common mistake that often leads to the pet being given up. Most animals that are brought to shelters end up being destroyed. Many people start with good intentions, but do not think about the almost certain fate for the pet if ‘it doesn’t work out.”
So, how can you be sure you are ready for the commitment of a new pet? As with most decisions in life, knowledge is the key to making the best decision you can. Start by asking yourself some basic questions.
1. Does everyone in the household want a pet, or is the pet going to be source of argument?
2. Is everyone ready and able to share in the responsibility, or is just one person going to end up doing all the work?
3. Do you travel or work long hours, leaving little time to spend with a pet?
4. Do you have the disposable income to afford a pet?

Questions to Ask Yourself Before Adopting
1. Are you ready to make a long-term commitment?
2. Can you spend quality time with this animal?
3. Will you be responsible for your pet’s health and safety?
4. Do you know what kind of pet is right for you?
5. (for dog adopters) Will your dog be on his best behavior at all times?
(for cat adopters) Why is your cat doing that?
