My family had a variety of pets growing up. I remember having a huge fish tank, and my dad filled it with fish he caught in the lake. It was really cool feeding them, because if you held the food right above the water, they would jump for it. My parents also rescued a baby squirrel once. You know what? I think we might have had a couple of different squirrels. I remember bottle feedings, and the babies sleeping under the heat lamps. When they got old enough to go outside, they would climb up my dads leg. If I remember correctly, we let them go in a friends backyard because he lived in the woods.

We also had cats and dogs. There was one time my parents brought home a dog from the pound, and she had serious problems. She was petrified of paper bags, and would go nuts whenever we brought home groceries. I think she had a skin condition too, because she was always chewing on herself. I think my parents returned her to the pound because she never really adapted well to our family. There were five of us kids, and they needed a dog they could trust around us. We ended up with a Golden Retriever, and had her for years. She had papers, and was beautiful.
I remember my dad bathing her regularly with
dog shampoo. She loved the attention, and always smelled clean. Does your dog smell clean all the time, or is he or she scratching all the time, and stinky? If he or she is stinky, you might want to try
Dinovite's all natural dog shampoo Dogosuds. This shampoo rinses easily and leaves your dog smelling wonderful for a long time. It contains pure, therapeutic grade essential oils that have natural, healing properties. It is also a flea deterrent, which is great, and it contains no chemicals, perfumes, or fillers. This makes it easy on your dogs skin.
I wish sometimes that Brandi wasn't afraid of dogs, because I have fond memories of our dogs growing up. I would love my kids to experience that, too. Maybe someday, when she is a little older, we will be able to get a dog.
I really want a Golden Retriever.
