We have all heard this a time or two or even been here as children. I love animals and really wanted a farm but settled for decorating my kitchen farm style because omgosh!?! The Responsibility, it’s work baby it’s a lot of work. My daughter kept asking for a dog and couldn’t wait until we got our home. With her birthday money this past year she brought a turtle and two months later I was given a dog. She got two pets in a season and boy were our hands full. Her job is to feed them both morning and afternoon. She is doing great and even uses the turtle tank light as her night light it’s a win-win! She cleans out the tank every 2-3 weeks with mom or dad’s assistance. We had to teach her the responsibility of having pets because it’s a lot and mom’s and dads we have enough work on our plates as is, our children can help out too! In the evenings she takes her dog for walks and brother helps too, all though sometimes I believe the dog is walking him. She cleans up after her dog and picks up his messes (bowel movements) and disposes of it. At first, she really was like mom!?! But now she knows it all comes together with owning a pet you have to do the work and the messy part too! Her having this daily routine is perfect and it creates a huge sense of accomplishment within itself! She’s becoming a wonderful mama!! #furmom. Parents if you get the dog, the turtle or the hamster any pet at all I strongly encourage you to let them help and let them do the work use this as a tool for responsibility because it is!
