Taking Care Of Our Furry Or Feathery Family Members

I have several friends who have for various reasons opted not to have children

, they have dogs instead. They treat their dogs better than most children are treated, of course, the dogs never talk back or don't do their homework or come home past curfew so I can see the point! It would be easier. When I was a girl we lived on a little farm, it was my responsibility to raise the chickens. I learned to love chickens, there are many of lives lessons learned by watching chickens. They aren't always nice and if a chicken has a blood spot on it the others will peck it to death, reminds me of Jr. High. Chickens are very selfish and will often try to hoard any food you might throw in their pens instead of sharing with their sisters. If you were to throw a loaf of bread in a chicken pen they would all try to grab as much as possible and run away and eat I by themselves. I learned the advantages of sharing watching the chickens. They usually lost what they wanted with their greed. They became so bend on having all the bread, they usually ended up with none of it. Don't peck each other to death and share, those are two of lives lessons I learned with my chickens. But one things chickens do that I always wished my children would do is they put themselves to bed when the sun set. Every night, as soon as the sun went down, all the chickens were safely nestled in their boxes with their heads under their wings asleep for the night. I tell my children that chickens are easier to raise then kids as they put themselves to sleep at night.

Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, ferrets and rabbits captures our love and tenderness and we want what is best for our pets. Different people like different kinds of pets, our son had an iguana for 2 years until it grew to be over 4 feet long and we had to give it to a veterinary school for safer keeping. He was getting aggressive and temperamental. Our vet told us he was just going through puberty and would grow out of it, growing out of it was what he did best. He grew out of all his cages and was tip to tail in this 75 gallon tank. We were out of room and he was out of patience. Time to go. Our son loved him and when he was littler would carry him around on his shoulders and neck.

Whenever you have any concerns with your pets take them to Tigard vet and get the care and help your furry, feathered or even scaly friends need to live long and be healthy and happy. Our pets aren't are children but they certainly are members of our family.
