Fri, 30 May 2008  Should pets be given as gifts? Dorene has great advice on how to give a pet as a gift.Looking for a cat or dog to surprise your loved ones for the holidays? Probably best to think twice because. Pets are not inanimate objects -- they are members of the family. When holiday season comes around, people tend to forget that there is a 10- to 20-year commitment involved in caring for a companion animal. Before obtaining a pet, the entire family should be consulted. In fact, if you are thinking of adopting and animal, most humane organizations require interviews with all adults living in the household before making a decision to adopt out a companion dog or cat.
