When Children Ask for a Pet <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Couples stable bond <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Carsten and Marie have two children, a boy who is 6 and a girl who is 8. Recently, the children have been asking for a dog. They want to have a pet of their own because they *bonded* with the next-door neighbour's dog, Joey. As a *couple* before the children were born, Carsten and Marie would occasionally care for their friend\u2019s dog during holidays. This means that they are familiar with having a dog in the house. Now that the children are a bit older, these parents enjoy the *stability* in the home, but they feel that might change with a dog in the house. They are not sure they want to welcome a dog into their family. <\/p>\n","

Enable shared category framework <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Everyone knows that when children care for a pet, it creates a *framework* for understanding responsibility. Caring for a pet would *enable* the children to learn to be responsible. The children have promised that they will *share* the responsibilities of caring for the dog. To help convince their parents, the children made a chart that had *categories* including walking, washing, brushing, and feeding, and they assigned each family member, including themselves, to the tasks. They are working hard to convince their parents to get a dog. <\/p>\n","

Consumer produce survival guideline availability <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

One point that everyone agrees on is where the dog will come from; it will come from an animal shelter. The animal shelter is a safe place for pets who have *survived* cruel treatment from their owners\/masters and now they need a new home. Neither the children nor the parents want to support unethical *production* of puppies in puppy mills. *Consumer* reports show an increase in puppy mills outside the city; these companies breed dogs or other animals under poor living conditions and without proper care and sell them to pet stores. The children often check the dog shelter website and share photos of dogs *available* for adoption with their parents. The dog shelter also provides *guidelines* for families who are considering adopting a dog. For example, a dog should not be left home alone for more than four hours. <\/p>\n","

Instance ahead establish statistic investment <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Looking *ahead*, Carsten was concerned that the responsibility of walking and caring for the dog would fall to the adults. In this *instance*, Marie and Carsten could not agree. He was concerned about *establishing* clear rules for responsibilities. Marie loved to walk or jog in the evening after work, so she felt the time taken to exercise the dog would not increase the time already *invested* in exercise or walking. The guidelines on the shelter web site gave *statistics* about how much time different dogs need to be exercised, and Marie thought it was reasonable. <\/p>\n","

Restriction volunteer involvement <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Thinking about taking on the responsibility of a dog *involves* not only surveying their lifestyle now but also their future. They had always enjoyed long weekend trips to visit families that lived out of town, and the need to care for the dog would *restrict* some of the activities they were used to doing. Carsten feels that the *voluntary* attitude about helping to care for the dog that the children show now will not last far into the future. They remain undecided about adopting a dog from the shelter. What do you think they should do? <\/p>\n"]}
