Since Yamil and I got married we considered having a pet. I love cats and dogs both pretty much equally and I know that they require maintenance, time, dedication and sacrifice. But I’m willing to make all that because I know the joy that a pet gives to a home. I also recognize that require a lot of cleanup but that’s another issue. I believe that Yamil and I are ready to raise a pet. We have been married for two years and 7 months and have been putting off having a pet for many reasons and excuses. At first we discarded it when moving to California because we would be living in an apartment. Yamil and I decided then to consider the pet when we moved to our new house. We moved to our first, new home on April 2009 so I think that excuse is clear.
I started to research some dog breeders after April 2009 but we came up with a new excuse: Our travel plans. We went on a cruise on September 2009 for one week and later on we went to Puerto Rico for Christmas for three weeks. So we decided to postpone it for after Christmas 2009. So now our dilemma is if we should get a dog or a cat.
Dogs require more attention but they give you more attention! They are adorable! We are considering Westie, Yorkie or a Miniature Schnauzer. I’m in love with my best friend dog, Roxy, a beautiful Miniature Schnauzer. Every time we visit she welcomes us with her adorable presence! I know that not all dogs are the same, Im really aware of that! Cats are more for themselves (I still like them) and I love when they purr! They need less care and less maintenance. Now Im in the task of looking for a cat and a dog and then we are going to decide which one to get. I promise we are not gonna get BOTH :P
I will keep you posted in our endeavor of getting a new family member. :)

D is not an animal person, so that's never been a topic of conversation for us. he did let me get a guinea pig when we moved up here. but after he died, i didn't want to get another one b/c i was so sad. i wish D liked animals though.
ReplyDeletei love mini schnauzers! they are great dogs and they don't shed. my good friend had 2, and i love them.
good luck figuring it out! can't wait to hear what you decide.
