Dogs
I love animals,I have had parakeet,goldfish,rabbit as a kid in Japan.The first pet I wanted to have was actually a parrot. Beautiful color birds with unique talent. I wanted parrot so badly but, I was too young to care the parrot so,my first pet turned out to be a parakeet.
I got a pair of parakeet and then,after a while, they got baby parakeets,and I woke up with baby parakeets crying for food and,I made mush for them and,I fed each baby parakeet and,washed bird cage,raised them to perch on my head,shoulder,finger and,I had great fun having them.
Having a pet and,learn to care animals are great thing for anyone including kids. They get to learn lots about animals,and also great for health benefit;lowering the the stress level,and bring you a great smile on your face.
If you have a dog,you would go for walk daily and,you and kids would not be a couch-potato.It is good exercise for you and great activity to make the bond with your dog stronger as well.
I now have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi as my first dog.I learn a lot about dogs,about her,and learn new thing every day.And this stumpy little goofy dog brings great smile on my face and,she is huge part of my life.
Having a dog has another positive side in life .Dogs make opportunity to meet new people to chat on walk,at pet shop and sometimes makes larger circle of friends. Caring dogs are not cheap,require lots of care,but benefit that you would receive from them are priceless.
I think that dogs are important part of our daily life.

Hi, Yassy and Palette! Came over from Twitter to read your post today. I haven't been on the computer except for writing my blogs this past week... Just glance at Twitter and Facebook. Hope all is going well with you.
I totally agree withyou, and really think kids NEED the experience of having animals to learn to care for them and have some responsibility as long as the kids, themselves, are supervised to be sure the pets get the proper care. I've ALWAYS been around animals and made sure that all my kids each had their own pets, horses, etc. whichever they prefered (and we had money for).
Corgis are at the top of MY list for being great dogs, too! I think they teach us as much, if not more, than we teach them. Linda (OC's Mom)

Thank you for stopping by to read blog. I enjoy your blog too and love watching how your puppies grow.
It is nice that you let your kids to have pets of their choice. My first choice when I was a kid was Parrot.I did not get to have Parrot for pets but I am satisfied with my life with stumpy Miss Palette.She always bring smile to me and we have fun playing together.
In fact,today,outside is cloudy,no hot at all. So, we started off strolling around on walk and then jog together.She is fast! She checks on me and if she thinks I am not up to her per,she slows down,lol. We had fun running very short distance and now she is taking a nap under the bed.
Yes,I love her a lot. She means a lot to me just being with me....

I've all kinds of dogs over my lifetime... Chihuahua/Doxie mixes, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Rottwieler mix, Poodles, Pomeranians, etc. and I used to train other people's dogs, and many of them have been very smart, but the Corgis seem to have the most "personality" of all the breeds I've been in contact with. They tend to think for themselves (as do most working/herding dog breeds)and that helps make them very good companion dogs IF you have the time to spend with them.
I know you mentioned in one of your articles, that they need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation and THAT is definately true, or they will FIND ways to get attention, which can be a very BAD thing. Around here, with all the other animals, I've never had that problem, but I've talked with people that just got them because they were "cute" and DIDN'T take the time, so they've torn up things or otherwise got into trouble. You might be able to get away with that with a lab or bassett... one of the really laid back breeds (after the puppy stage)but NOT a corgi! LOL
