Are you thinking of getting or giving a pet as a Christmas gift this year?
A sweet little puppy, a cute kitten or a fluffy rabbit can melt our heart in an instant, and it’s hard to resist that little bundle of fun!
But - have you thought it through? Our emotions tend to get the better of us where baby animals are concerned.
This is another one of my posts from last year which I feel compelled to re-blog as Christmas is almost upon us. Think very carefully about buying a pet at this time of the year.
I hope my newer readers find this post useful; those who have been following me for a while will have seen it before, but it's always good refresh our memory!

Our cat has given us years of joy… I highly recommend getting a pet.
You are a good, responsible pet owner!
Good advice!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi,
Yes a very important post for this time of year, people really need to think before impulse buying as far as pets are concerned. A great idea reposting this one.
Hey Mags, nice to see you here – I’ve missed your posts!
People have short memories, so I thought it was worth re-posting this from last year. Emotions tend to run away with us at this time of year, so hopefully this reminder will have some effect.
I totally agree with you. This is a well-needed reminder to anyone thinking of getting or giving a pet for Christmas. Well said and great re-post.
Thanks Eliz!
I hate seeing animals being advertised as Christmas presents.
Me too, that’s why I wrote this post last year and re-blogged it again this year – as a reminder to people who are thinking of getting a pet for Christmas, to think twice.
Great way to “resurrect” important posts. Thanks, Barb.
It was appropriate in view of the season. Thanks Nancy.
