1.3K Shares

Pets are a great addition to any household. They add so much to a family. Children love their family pets and the parents get exercise when they walk a dog. Dogs are rowdy, energetic, and add so much fun and love to their family. Cats tend to be quieter and sleep more, but their purrs are calming to anyone lucky enough to cuddle them.

If you have ever had a pet, you know the large presence that they add to your life. They add a lot of responsibility. You have to bring them to the vet, feed them more than once a day, make sure they exercise, and of course, give them lots of love. Animals need so much care, but we love them enough for it not to bother us.

Dogs and cats are different, yes, but think about all the other animals that we can have as pets. Perhaps you prefer reptiles. Some people keep lizards or snakes as pets. Maybe even a little turtle! Fish also make an appearance in some households, as do rodents. Cages with mice or hamsters are often preferable to owning a dog or cat since they take less responsibility to own and care for.
