How many times have we heard of our children, can I have a puppy ?, a cat ?, a bunny? ... children do not resist the tenderness of pets and more if they are puppies. Normally, the child wants have a pet because, some friend has one, or has seen one in a shop window of an animal shop, or on TV, etc.
During these dates, many children have asked the Magi to have a pet, and this is fine but, teaching them fundamentally that pets are not toys is our responsibility, we must instill in the child the needs of the new family member and care you require. There are many changes in a house when a pet enters, we must adapt our customs and schedules to their needs, adapt a space for him to sleep, but never in the child's room. Nor should share the toys with the pet, as it is a possible source of infection and from now on you have to have the pet to plan the holidays.
Actually, we like animals, we have two, but many questions have to be raised before deciding if we will really face this responsibility that the child asks us, since the pet is going to be one more in the family.
