Can You Pet It?

Can You Pet It?
So you want a pet, but you're not sure if you can handle it?

Consider what having this pet might require: time, money, attention. Are these things that you will be able to give your furry friend? A dog is pretty high-maintenance; it has to be walked regularly, fed, and it needs lots of attention, especially if it's a puppy. A cat doesn't need that much attention, but then you have to deal with litter box issues.

The point is, put some thought into getting a pet, don't just go and get one when you see a photo of a cute puppy and you just have to have one. There are enough homeless pets out there without anyone adding to the count when they realize they can't handle the responsibility.

Fish might be a safe start.
