Owning a Pet Having a pet is a wonderful idea. Pets bring companionship, personality, and gut wrenching humor to households across the world. Having previously owned both a cat and a dog, and currently being without a pet, I began to think about getting a new furry friend. Born a dog lover, and bred into a cat lover, I had the difficult decision of choosing one of the two. When I was twenty-two years old, I answered an advertisement in the paper for free Labrador puppies. Driving up to the house, I saw all the little critters running around and having a ball of a time. I got into the pen with the pups, and finally decided on the shy runt who spent the majority of his time hiding under a board. I loved his personality and instantly knew he was the dog for me. I named him Charlie, and from that point on our master/dog relationship began. At the time I lived in a small two bedroom house with a fenced yard near Wanamaker road. Once Charlie was a full grown dog, he was the hit of the block. Charlie hardly ever barked, and was always just as happy to see the large groups of children exiting the school bus, as he was for me to arrive at home after work. Charlie had a bag full of tricks. My favorite was the Bob Dole, in which Charlie would sit and shake with his right paw, then I would give him the "Bob Dole" command, and he would immediately shake with his left paw. It was a riot, and netted Charlie about thirty pounds of treats in his lifetime. Vegas, on the other hand, was a full grown Persian cat that a friend was trying to find an adopted home for before she moved out of state. I had been around Vegas enough times to have a good idea of his personality, and I decided to help my friend out and give Vegas a try. Unlike C... ... middle of paper ... ..., and none of it was as impressive or as interesting as the furry cat on the couch, not to mention the personal escort to and from the car to the door from the sweet, polite, black lab outside. But I can't really blame my guests, for Charlie and Vegas' cute faces and gestures worked their magic on me as well. And more times than naught, they got what they wanted in life. After losing Charlie in a car accident, and Vegas being returned to his rightful owner, I decided to get a new cat. A new cat would be more affordable, and fit in with my apartment house lifestyle. The ability to maintain a cats responsibilities while attending school, and spending weekends at work, is far less of a job than it would be for a new dog. The decision has proved worthwhile. Flea is doing well adapting to her new surroundings, and doing her best to avoid the lava life throws her way.
It was strange and quiet without the noise of their nails hitting the floor or the hair all over the place. In order to fill the void in our hearts we had adopted a German Shepherd mix named
Dogs make better pets then cats, because they are nice, loving, protective and playful. Cats on the other hand are mean, lazy, and not so playful with any other animals or humans. When it comes to dogs they do not like to be alone and they like to play with other animals and humans. When a dogs comes to love its owner they begin to make sure that it is safe at all times when the dog is around the human it will protect them. A dog will run and play with you for hours while a cat will just lay around and play with a ball of yarn or sleep. A dog would be a better pet, because they like to be more active then cats.
He knew what Whataburger bags contained and would plant himself between the bearer of the bag and their front door, wagging his tail and giving his best impression of adorable 80 pound puppy. He quickly became a beloved neighborhood mascot. Only problem—he did not want to be touched. I take that back—he seemed to desperately want affection, but would shy away if you got too close. And he was deathly frightened of a collar, visibly quivering at the sight, and twisting away and snapping if you got too close with one. I don’t know what kind of abuse might create that reaction (and I really don’t want to know), but it made getting Trouble to the shelter a bit
Even though we have so many cats I still love dogs and other animals a lot.

'' I think cats make better pets than dogs. When I was growing up, my family had dogs and cats, and I always liked playing with the cats better.

Being in the United States Army, having cats as pets is much easier to take care of as opposed to having a dog as a pet.

While these factors are not all inclusive they are just the ones that had the most impact on my decision when picking a type of a pet. I am currently watching my Soldiers dog while he and his wife are on leave in the United States and this is reinforcing how much easier military life is with a cat rather than a dog.
