Dog, cat, both or neither?

Why do you want any pets? I think the dog/cat decision really comes down to what YOU want and why. I love having my poodles, and I can give you a long list of reasons why I decided on one dog, then a poodle, then a second poodle, after years of having cats.

The biggest reason was the incentive to go for a walk twice a day. Since getting my first poodle (when the kids left for college) I’ve lost about 50 pounds, and pretty much enjoyed every minute of it; I love the companionship my dogs provide. I’m an introvert (I really value being alone with my thoughts), but a poodle is along for the walk and doesn’t want to talk.
