christmas gifts

Give a pet for Christmas: yes or no? Have your kids been telling you for months about that puppy or kitten they dream of and promise to care for until the end of their life, and are you ready to go?

You wouldn't be the first to give a pet as a Christmas present ...

Usually, the end of the year marks a peak in sales of puppies and kittens. A purchase that is not trivial.

But alas, many of the adorable furballs that amazed children on the morning of December 25 end up months or weeks later in a shelter. Fortunately, many of them also stay with the family all their lives.
