Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my own growing family, which is about to get a whole lot bigger with baby boy almost ready to make his debut!
That got me thinking about whether or not a pet would make a great friend for baby one day…
But then how do I decide between the slobbering, yet lovable puppy, the purring, snuggly kitten, the quiet, fluffy bunny, or the super easy-to-care-for goldfish?
Of course there are other (almost endless) possibilities, and the biggest problem of all is….they’re all so cute! Well, maybe not so much the fish, but how do you say no to these little faces?

To solve this great dilemma, I’ve put together a little poll so you guys can give me some advice if you’d like!
If not, then I hope at least this little bit of cuteness brightened your day!

Took the poll, I just wanted to add a couple more cents. Kai the cat was the first pet I’ve ever had. I like that I don’t have to take her for walks (she does go out on her harness, every once in a while). Her food lasts a lot longer than it would for an average size dog. Vet expenses are less then for dogs. She doesn’t need attention a lot of the time (although every cat is different). I don’t like that affection is on her terms (again every cat is different). If you have small kids, most cats are not tolerant of being held all of the time. Unfortunately small children don’t understand this & bites & scratches occur. She’s not as cuddly as a dog, which I would like more often. So, for a first time pet, a cat was perfect for me. A dog is probably in the future though.
Thanks for the very helpful advice! Good to know about how cats respond and react to small kids. Btw, your beef short rib recipe looks great with the Anything Spice Rub – I’ll have to try it!
