bob is trying

A big screen advertisement caught my eye the other day while taking my pet dog for a walk. The poster stated in big blue letters next to the image of a Labrador “Through expense and damage how can we put up with them?”(Dogs). Bored and tired after picking up poo after poo, this got me thinking, do the advantages of having a pet really outweigh the disadvantages? Later on that evening Olli was sick and poor mum, who was meant to be going to her sister’s wedding reception, had to take him to the vet. Ollie is a cute Maltese puppy who has a great personality and loves to have fun, but unfortunately i don’t always have fun when I’m picking up thousands of pieces of ripped up tissue paper from all over our lounge floor.

Pets have become a common sight in many households. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find a household without pets such as fish, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and even turtles. However; although there are many pros of owning a pet, there are also many cons that young kids like you or I don’t always see when pleading our parents to purchase the cutest pets.

One of the great aspects of owning a pet is the unquestionable love and devotion that you will share with it. Companionship is a major pro to owning a living item, whether it is a snail, right the way up to a snake. This huge burden placed on your shoulders can often help to mature teens – it certainly affected me over the past 2 years – I can tell you that!
