Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you bring home that little bundle of fur. Acquiring a pet can be a big commitment. Some pets, like goldfish, are certainly less demanding than puppies, but still need care and attention. If you must have that cute little puppy, remember that your biggest investment will be time. Puppies can t be left alone and need to be trained and monitored.
Older dogs can take time as well.
They need to adapt to their surroundings and, depending on the breed, will need daily exercise. You need to remember that it doesn t matter that it s the bottom of the ninth, your team is behind by two, with two outs and the bases loaded. It doesn t matter that your chocolate souffl will be done in precisely thirteen seconds. It doesn t matter that the cute guy or gal from purchasing decided to give you a call at that precise moment. It s your choice.
