In winter, it is too cold out to walk my dog, so I usually give them a ride instead and my dog likes it very much although it is pent up all day.

I like dogs because they are very respectful and loyal to their masters. They instinctively want to be friends with human.

we hhave cats but I do love them. the only thing i would like to say is I don’t like the dander of cat. they always fly everywhere go to food and everything. When you have black sweater you would probably know that all the fur will stick to it. Oh My….. I hate it. Any way when I have amy own house I decided to err on the side of caution.

I don`t have a pet and i don´t regret it. Cats and dogs are adorable,   cats   like to roam freely  and live an independent life, whereas dogs need much attention from the owner, daily exercise , baths  as a routine if you don`t want that your house stinks .Should i live in a house with a backyard i would  then consider  to adopt a dog as a permanent resident of the household  and i already have a name for the canine “buddy” . Until then , i prefer  things as they are.
