What are good cat toys for indoor cats?…

I am a hobby breeder myself and have raised several litters of Great Danes. Although I have a love for ALL dogs, the Great Danes have been one my favorite, along with being a challenge to raise. I am one to get to know the family first before I let a puppy go to their future parents. Danes are not meant for everyone and most people just see a cute little puppy. In six months though, they have a GIANT PUPPY! =) As you said in the article, "you can't just leave them alone for hours like you can a cat!" Enjoyed the article and I know this will be very helpful to others who are looking to purchase or adopt a new puppy. Wonderful article and very straight forward.

I am so pleased to hear about your cats that you have rescued I applaude you for that!! You are very wise and thoughtful about getting a dog, with a busy schedule it is difficult, and ultimately not fair to the dog. Thanks again.

When you get a pet, you are agreeing to love and care for them until their death or yours. To me, they are a very important part of the family. I'm aghast at the number of people who get a pet, only to turn them over to someone else after a certain amount of time. It is heartless and cruel. If you can't be sure you can take on the responsibility, both personally and financially, you should not get a pet.</p> <p>I have numerous cats and love them to pieces. All my cats were either rescued from heartless owners or obtained from the Humane Society. Although I LOVE dogs, I'm clear, that with my personality and time commitments, I can't have one. I do not have the patience or hours in the day to take care of them the way they need to be. Cats are more independent and have suited me well, requiring less attention. I had one, my best friend, for 20 years.</p> <p>So, rather than follow my heart and just get a dog because they are so cute and lovable, I've held off since I know I'm not capable of giving them what they need. I want all animals to be happy, well loved and getting the attention the deserve.</p>http://smallbusinesswebsitesguide.com/ I completely agree about a pet being a commitment for LIFE. When you get a pet, you are agreeing to love and care for them until their death or yours. To me, they are a very important part of the family. I’m aghast at the number of people who get a pet, only to turn them over to someone else after a certain amount of time. It is heartless and cruel.

I have numerous cats and love them to pieces. All my cats were either rescued from heartless owners or obtained from the Humane Society. Although I LOVE dogs, I’m clear, that with my personality and time commitments, I can’t have one. I do not have the patience or hours in the day to take care of them the way they need to be. Cats are more independent and have suited me well, requiring less attention. I had one, my best friend, for 20 years.

So, rather than follow my heart and just get a dog because they are so cute and lovable, I’ve held off since I know I’m not capable of giving them what they need. I want all animals to be happy, well loved and getting the attention the deserve.

I do agree that cats are easier in that you can go away for a few days, and not worry -but you cannot do that with a dog. Many pet shops are notorious for buying dogs from puppy mills, and supporting this inhumane industry. I also pray your brother reunites with the dog, and you are again one big happy family.
