So here is one of my submissions for the 'pets' topic a few days back. This hub won me best hub of the day. :-D

If you have any suggestions of other good pets for children, leave me a comment and let me know your suggestions.

How Do I Convince My Parents I'm Ready for a Puppy?

If you want a dog, and are having problems with your parents, what can you do?

I have a few suggestions for you...

How Do I Convince My Parents I'm Ready for a Puppy?

Prove to your parents that you're responsible enough to take care of a puppy. They're a long commitment, not something that you can throw in the yard when you've had your fill.

Dogs will by far teach you great responsbility, but you must have at least a grain or two to start.

How Much is That Puppy in The Window?

Today's topic is "money."

How Much is That Puppy in The Window?

Once the contest is over, I promise to have a little description with my blogs. I'm just a little busy lately.

Dog's are more than a cute squeeky toy here and dog food there. You have to remember shots, emergencies, and other costs that all come with raising a dog in your family.

Dog Ear Cropping and Tail Docking

I know you've seen dogs out there with cropped ears and docked tails. It's sad, but it happens. Heck, you may be one of those people...

Well, either way, I suggest the reading of one of my "style" HubLove contest entries:
Stylizing Your Dog: The Nip/ Tuck of the Canine Variety

Again, I've been busy with the contest, writting nearly 10 hubs a day. I hve 3 other animal "style" hubs that I'll be posting over the next few days. And, on Saturday, I'll post my choice for top hub of the day in the contest. I can't wait to find out what the topic is. It's not too late to participate. Just create an account with HubPages.

What Dog Breeds Make The Best Pets?

Sorry, I've been away for a few days. I'm trying to keep up the blog thing, really, I am. I've been a little preoccupied with HubPages. They have introduced a new contest which started yesterday and will end on March 15th. If you want to participate the winner received $5,000 worth of electronics. Just click the link about and it'll take you to the home page to which you can sign up and join the fun.

But, with other news. I've created another hub about what dog breeds make the best pets. Honestly, they all do, but that doesn't mean that all dogs are for everyone. So, you may want to check it out HERE

Things to Think About Before Breeding Reptiles

So, you think you want to breed your leopard gecko, ball python, or bearded dragon? Maybe you want to breed your red-eared slider or pacman frog... Either way, are you ready and prepared for the journey you interested in taking?

There's really a lot that you may not have thought about. Housing. Feeding. Money.

Can you afford this adventure- money-wise, time-wise, and space-wise?

My first response to anyone who questions me about breeding is, "do more research."

So, anyway...

How to Train Your Pet Rat

I've always been interested in animal training for just about any animal. I mean how cool is it that you can train wild dolphins to jump through hoops? I think it's pretty neat.

You can train dogs and cats. You can train ferrets to di simple tricks. You can even train rabbits, a little bit.

But how cool is it to train a rat?

I love my rats, and when I brought them home, had intentions of training them. But, well, I got slack, and decided to just let them be rats. Now, I wish I had kept up with their training.

I once attempted to train my chinchillas agility, but that didn't go so well, so I thought rats would be perfect. But, somehow I've misplaced all my agility equipment. I need to dig deep in the house for it. But, anyway, it's cool to train your pet rat.

Training pet rats gives them something to exercise their brain with. It brings you closer to them becuase you're spending more time with them, and they definately won't fight you on that.

So how are you supposed to get started?
