Pets
Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday
Let's talk about pets okay? Some people love them, some can't be bothered and some dislike them. Where do you stand?
1 Do you have pets? Yes.
2. Did you have a pet growing up? Yes. Tell us about it, please. We got a dog, Happy, when I was around four years old. My brother was three years younger than me and 'hap hap hap' was the only word he could say at the time, so the dog got named Happy. Happy lived a good long life. I don't have a picture of Happy and that makes me sad. She was a small mixture of many breeds. We also had a bunch of indoor/outdoor cats who came and went through the years or sometimes went and never came back. Charlie, Spunky, Puff, Ringo...
3. Are pets too much trouble, or, do you find neighbors' pets to be a problem? Pets are a lot of work and do take a lot of your time but it is worth every clean-up and every minute. They are also expensive to feed and care for so when you get a pet, you are making a promise to that animal to care for him or her and sometimes have to make hard decisions for them. My neighbors who have dogs are always welcome to bring them over and I have a jar of doggy treats by my front door if that tells you anything!!
4. Do you think dogs make good housemates or watchdogs? It depends on the dog. Some of them love everyone and don't make good watchdogs. Pets, trained properly, are always good housemates! Do you think women living alone need a dog for security or companionship? I'm a woman alone who has cats. I haven't had a dog in nearly 40 years (even though I love dogs, too). I would not rely on a dog for security but they usually always provide good companionship. So do cats, by the way!!
Happy November!! This year is flying by!
