I have 3 dogs and a cat. Do you have any pets? They're great as companionship for elderly adults and fun for kids!
I had a pet beta fish a few years ago, but he died after a few months
Losing a pet can be tough. There are some fantastic physical and emotional benefits to owning pets. Have you thought about getting another? 
I have, but my current financial position prevents me from getting one. I was thinking about getting a dog.
Yes, pets can be very expensive. You definitely want to make sure you're in a good financial position to care for one. But I believe their loyalty and playful personalities are so worth it!
