The biting alone is a huge hurdle, even for an adult. I would never want to try to go through that process with a kid.

Fishies might make good first pets, especially for younger kids :)<br /><br />When I was growing up, we had a dog, but my mom was not interested in keeping him, so we had to give him away. I agree with the person who said any pet a parent doesn't want is not a good choice for kids. When we had to give our dog away, I was heartbroken. <br /><br />Years later, we got a cat. She was a very good, sweet kitty. She's at the Rainbow Bridge now and I miss her. I've always loved cats, and I think I'll always have them as pets now that I'm an adult :)<br /><br />Fur Everywherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064329146430899790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-11686952433812953412013-03-05T21:27:16.077-06:002013-03-05T21:27:16.077-06:00I agree Sheba.
