  ps Adopt A Dog! 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.

Unsure of what pet to get- heres a few bullet points about a few animals you may consider.

• Cats. Except when they want feeding cats are quiet animals. Well groomed and dont need taking out for walks like dogs. Cats are nocturnal creatures by nature, coming to life at night mostly, and bringing back some mice as presents. They costs alittle less than dogs, especially on insurance.
• Dogs. Are they ‘mans best friend’? Your canine chum will require being taken for a walk often, which can be exercise for both dog and owner. Dogs are going to need some training, but are very loyal animals to their owners (or their pet!!).
• Rodents. Mice, Hamsters, Gerbils and Rats. These tiny guys have a lifespan generally of about a year and a half, but have been known to go on longer. the right sized cage is important -rats are the bigger rodent and mice may escape through bigger holes in the bars. Remember a wheel for exercise, but replace it if it starts squeaking so your not kept up all night.
• Guinea pigs and Rabbits. Both can move quicker than you think, so be prepared to chase them around the garden. You’ll need a hutch for them to stay in and a run or garden for them to have a runaround in. Remember to throw in some fresh carrots/ lettuce for them to go with thier feed, and hutches should be moved into a warmer room in the winter to make sure they dont freeze.
• Snakes. Costly because you’ll need special accomodation made, equipment to make sure the room stays at the right temperature for them and a collection of mice for them to eat. A snake’s price can be very exspensive depending on the size of them.
• Spiders. You’ll need a small container to keep them in, a supply of bugs to be eaten -and a spouse that wont head for the hills if they escape.

I am an animal.  I am a dog.  I am your dog. I am a certain breed of dog.  I am your pet.  As your pet, you have given me a name.

Animal: First and foremost I am an animal.  I have animal instincts and animal attributes. If you do not allow me to be an animal, you are putting me into an unnatural state of being.  Or, as Cesar Millan says, you are putting me out of my natural balance.  You really need to allow me to be what I am supposed to be according to nature.  Mother Nature herself!

Dog: I am also a dog, and as a dog I also have certain attributes.  One of them is:  I travel in packs.  My pack has a leader and I am a follower, (unless I am the dog pack leader that is).  Otherwise I follow. It comes natural to me.
