All my pets, except the last dog we had, were when I was a kid. I wanted the last dog we had so our kids could have a pet. I thought that was important for kids. Unfortunately, my husband, being raised on a farm, had issues with our dog. She loved him and most of the time he seemed to like her but she needed much more attention than we could give her and had to give her away. I want to get another pet so bad but he won't let me. I still don't have much time for one so it is probably for the best but it doesn't make the feeling go away. I still think pets are important for all ages.
