This is just a friendly reminder to really think about the gift of a new life this holiday season. Many children who beg and beg for dogs or animals for Christmas grow bored or the family isn't prepared for the responsibility and the dog ends up in the local pound or abandoned. Please be thoughtful before adopting this holiday season. You are committing to the care of another sentient, feeling being's life. Be sure you're ready for it. And if you are- your new companion will have nothing but love to share with you!
