Re: Pets, Kids and Families
I totally agree with you about the breed thing. I have been in a lot of disagreements with people (DH included) who insist that some breeds aren't more of a risk with kids. Different breeds were breed for different purposes, and so their inherrant behavior is different. There are dogs that don't fit the generalization, but that's not a risk I'm willing to take with my kids. But, I guess if you did have a dog of one of those breeds, you would just need to take extra precautions. 6 months would probably be a really good age from a kitty. And there are lots of precautions being taken with this little kitten (who was rescued from being put down- that's why he's so little and in our family now.) I know it's not a good choice for everyone, but for some it works out fine. I don't think it's quite right to say that it's a poor choice if you're willing to do what's necessary and see it through.
