The kids want a dog. We almost got a dog in Salinas, a beagle to exact. However we had a small child and were deemed unworthy of being dog owners. Then we moved to Stockton and once again had a dog picked out from the animal shelter. But our check still had a Salinas address so we couldn't adopt the pet. By that time I had decided on getting a cat...nice and simple. Went down to the cat shelter and picked out a frisky kitten...wouldn't let us take it home because Anya was too young. Good grief....it is impossible to get the pet you want anymore. We were directed to an older, yellow tabby who we took home. Tiger has been a nice cat, a little paranoid as he scratches on all closed doors and hates to go outside if the door shuts behind him. Last August a gray tabby showed up on our porch and he is now a permanent member of the Taylor family. So we have two cats and I am happy with that. But now the desire for a dog is in hyper over drive from my offspring. When asked what kind of dog they want everyone has a different desire....
Abby-I want a Chihuahua!!!
Anya-Husky dog, a husky dog...pleaaaseeee!!!
Kaleb-uhhhhh....a cute dog....
Alexis-We need a Lab or a golden retriever..
Thor-German Shepherd named Kong
I don't know, it is all very complicated. After looking on petfinder.com for shelter dogs, I have reached the conclusion that pit bull owners must be the most irresponsible and let all their unaltered dogs have free reign of the neighborhood. I mean really....how many pit bull mixed dogs can there be...ALOT!!!!

Oh get a dog like Sophie - Visla/German Shepard mix. You know they would love that. Don't forget to crate train them!!
wow, getting a dog is a big issues, almost like another child. Are you sure you want to do this?
I will probably never own anything with fur because of my allergies, but my casual pet observations over the years have convinced me that a mutt (mixed breed, whatever)is the way to go. They are the nicest, smartest and most interesting dogs I've known. And those rescued from a shelter seem the most grateful to be in a home. Or, you could buy a chihuahua and name him Kong.
P.S. - And life is too short to not enjoy your food. I allow myself the occasional bite of Ben & Jerry's...just not the whole pint. I'm a big believer in giving yourself a small treat each day (handful of chips or cookie or square of dark chocolate). You'll still stay fit but be happy too!
