Home | Home & Family | Holidays And kids have no problem finding things to ask for. Childrens' television commercials during the holiday season are all about toys-the latest and the greatest toys are on dispay for kids to covet, from October through December. Parents everywhere, acting as Santa's surrogates, want to be able to satisfy as many of their childrens' wishes as they can. But, besides asking for all the neat gadgets and toys they see on TV, kids also use Christmas as the time when they most often ask for a new pet, especially if they live in a house which has not had a pet. Dogs and cats are the most often requested new pets, though fish and birds are also high on many childrens' lists. Parents are rarely as excited as their kids to bring a new pet into the home. They know that lots of work will be required, for even the easiest pets, to train them into being comfortable and non-destructive in their new homes. And most of that work, at least initially, will ultimately be done by Mom and Dad. Parents understand that their kids often won't have the attention spans necessary to care for new pets, especially puppies, which demand attention, all of the time. Puppies, and kittens, too, can destroy lots of things around the home, if left to their own devices. As well, new pets need to be fed, watered, exercised and trained, according to a schedule that becomes habit. They also need a great deal of training, to understand their place in the home, and how they fit in. Many people, and not just kids, grow tired and bored, easily, with the tasks that pet-ownership requires. Before parents consider bringing a new pet into the home, they need to decide honestly if their child or children are mature enough to take on the task of raising a living creature. Even if they decide a new pet is warranted, Christmas may not be the best time to introduce a puppy or kitten into the family. Many live little Christmas presents wind up discarded or in a shelter, by January 1. Christmastime is busy enough, as it is. The best time to bring a new pet, requiring a lot of attention, into the home, is probably when there are no other holidays to compete with. That new puppy or kitten needs all the love it can get.
