Responsibilities of owning a pet
Chosing to own and take care of a pet is a major decision. Some people hastily choose to adopt a pet before they think of the responsibilities that come with caring for another living being. These responsibilities include:
- Providing shelter from the elements
- Providing proper food and water
- Showing affection
- Providing excercise and play
- Treating pets as if they are members of the family
