My daughter loves animals, and so it was only fitting that we get her a little pet. Now, you are probably thinking…why does a woman with a husband and two kids want to now take care of a pet???

I don’t!

Now don’t get me wrong, I love animals. I especially love dogs and would love to get one someday, but when my children are older. Dogs take a lot of work, and are like another child. I just don’t think I could give a dog the attention they need. Also, after just having to put our cat down last year, I am still grieving the loss of her. I can’t imagine getting another cat. I can’t stand birds, they are very noisy. Rabbits are messy, mice are not meant to be pets, hamsters don’t really have a long life I don’t think, and I really don’t like fish (they are always looking at you).

Instead, we got ourselves the PERFECT pet. Her name is Pom Pom. She is a white puppy dog that my daughter fell in love with as we were passing by the toy store. She is complete with batteries and a leash. The benefits of Pom Pom include:

1. I never have to feed her.
2. I never have to walk her.
3. I never have to scoop up poop.
4. I never have vet bills.
5. I never have to smell dog breath.
6. I never have dog hair on my furniture.
7. If she is becoming too loud, I turn the switch to off.
8. And the best part, my daughter loves her so much!
