brush! brush! comb! comb!

Am I a mean parent for not getting the kids a pet? Pia asks me for one all the time. Cats are out of the question as are birds, fish and guinea pigs. I would really love to get a little dog for them but I'm a bit turned off the idea by a friend who tries to offer me her dog whenever I visit her. You know who you are!! What to do?

Pia has chosen her perfect pet and has requested one for Christmas: (i don't know if pets wonderland have any of these?)



So we went hunting in the backyard to see what 'pets' are out there already. I was thinking I'd find a snail, but look who we found:



Isn't she pretty.
And while I have a Dr Seuss book with me, I have to show you my favourite page. I don't know why I love this but I just do.

he, he- SAY NO TO PETS!!!

We got Ryder some fish & he hasn't even noticed that half of them have died!

Too much work I say... maybe I am a meanie, but I deal with enough poo in my current job!

just don't do the pet thing - the poo,smells etc there just feral -from the happy two dog family. just do the occasional visit to those skanky animal farms that every fete has!

All girls who like to brush & comb
Should have a pet like this at home!
My daughter would jump through SO many hoops for a puppy, but we have no room and I was a kid once, I KNOW I'll end up looking after it!
