#BlogFlash2012 Day 2: A Furry Friend

 

We don’t have any pets right now, but the boys are driving me crazy wanting one. Two, really. One wants a dog and the other wants a cat. Of course. I really want them to have pets, because I grew up with pets. I had 20-something dogs and 4 or 5 cats.  So, I’d love for them to have pets, but I’m well aware of who will end up taking care of said pets. Then we have the big-dog, little-dog, outside/inside argument. I think I’ll just buy them more of those stuffed animals I dislike so much.

    Lol, I hear your pain! Have you checked out the Perfect Petzz? They are awesome – breath and everything – no mess following, just batteries, lol

      Ugh. More batteries. That’s just what I need. LOL

    Ha! I hear you. Elizabeth got a battery operated dog for Christmas and it goes through batteries at an insane rate if you don’t turn it all the way off (even though it goes to “sleep”). I’m thinking your idea of 13 and 20 for being responsible enough would be about right :-)

    Great post Amanda.

    Stick with the cuddly toys.

    If you do want cats for your children though I can send my six by air mail ;)

      Um, I think I’m going to have to say “No, thanks,” David. Donna should be along soon, and I don’t want to get caught in the crossfire. LOL

    Thanks for a great post, Amanda! Stuffed animals are definitely less messy!

    Just think of all the fun you will have owning a pet. If interested I have 4 dogs, 2 cats and 2 bunnies. I am happy to ship either of the cats and any dog except my basset hound

      I love how all of you keep trying to convince me how great pets are while trying to give yours away. :-P
