is why dogs need to have some one to look after them if you are away. You should never leave a kitten or a puppy alone overnight. They could get into all sorts of trouble. You should also keep in mind that cats and dogs generally live between 15 and 20 years. This is a huge commitment on your part. Another to consider is how often you move, If you are in co-op remember that you will probably be moving every four months which means your pet will be going with you.Thiscanbeastrainonyouand your pet.

overfeed your fis h. They don’t know when to stop oating and will burst. Second, ifyou have multiple kinds of fish, make sure that one kind is not the primary food of the other. That just makes the bonding experience all that more diffucult. Birds are also a good choice as long as you don’t get the kind that singall night. A good choice is the zebra finch. They sleep all night singing only when there is light in the room. Zebra finches are cute little birds that are sold in pairs consisting of one male and one female. If you provide a nest for them they will mate and lay eggs. So if you are lucky you will have many little birds that you can share with your friends. Petsarealotofwork,butthey are also a lot of fun, and it is nice to come home to something that loves you unconditionally and will listen to you complain about your day without making any snide comments. E3ut before you runout and buy that cute little fuzzy thing you saw in the window (or scaly thing in the tank), make sure you can handle the responsibility that comes with it.
