A dog for me is what it shall be!!

                                                          Cocker Spaniel

I've never had a pet. When I tell people this, they tell me I've been deprived! Although I'm sure a pet would have been a wonderful asset to my home, I understand now as an adult why my parents never allowed my siblings and I to have one. Pets are a lot of responsibility. They require attention, love, and of course, need to be taken care of, just like human beings. When I move out of my parents' house, I would love to finally have a pet. My pet of choice? A dog!! I prefer dogs over cats and I believe if you treat them well, they will be loyal to you for years to come. I would like to get an Alaskan Husky, a Labrador Retriever, or a Cocker Spaniel. This will not be for many years, but when the time does come, I hope that my long awaited pet and I are a perfect match.
