		<description>Hahah... Susan I know what you mean about feeling like you are always cleaning up after them! But, we wouldn&#039;t trade it for anything.

Thanks for commenting.

		<description>I completely agree with this and I can&#039;t tell you how much comfort my animals have brought to my life.  I have two cats, a dog, two fish and two frogs, currently.  Yes, they are a lot of responsibility.  Seems as if I am forever changing cat litter or cleaning up dog poop - but I love them.  Each of them.  Very worth it.  They make me laugh, and they make me cry, but above all they are my friends.  Over the years I have gained huge appreciation for them and all walks of life in general Even the ones where you can&#039;t find their purpose; like slugs. I have grown very fond of slugs, knowing we are ALL here for a reason.</description>

		<description>My dog just died a few weeks ago, and with every day that passes, I am realizing more and more how much she meant to me and how much a part of my life she was. I definitely agree with the aforementioned perks of having a pet...especially the compassionate part. I wasn&#039;t feeling well the other day, and I really missed having my dog curl up beside me and keep me company. She always knew just when I needed some comfort, whether I was feeling sad or sick or just lonely.</description>

		<description>i&#039;ve only had dogs until now (last one was given away 7 years ago), but i consider myself definitely a cat person. dogs are lovely, i just tune in to cats more. i&#039;d love to have both, though.</description>

		<description>I have three cats.  I would say that pets are great for all reasons listed above, and that anyone who wants a pet should research them first (care tips, lifespan, etc.) and make sure they are ready for the commitment.  It&#039;s not about just their initial cost and food, but vet bills, boarding if you travel and have no one else to care for them.  It&#039;s also about time - you or someone in the household should have enough time to give them a little TLC that they need.  :)</description>
