We're playing on the concept of pets as children. Pets are viewed as family members. They've moved out of the back yard, into the house, into the bedrooms, into the beds and under the sheets.

This is most certainly not the bird flu. This is a common illness in birds.

The main reason we choose a location is based on need and, in part, the number of pet parents who express a need.

It disturbed me quite a bit when young children had to get on the evacuation buses and leave their pets behind, ... Pets are a part of your family, at least in my opinion. I have five dogs of my own and they're my family. I can't imagine having to leave them behind.

I had a cat I could not see,
Because it stayed in back of me.
It was a very loyal pet-
It's sad we never really met.

I had a nice pet
Who I never met,
Remember it always stayed behind me.
And I'm sure it was a cat, too.

Most of these (pit bulls) you are banning (are) loving family pets.
