Once one makes a decision to get a pet, they take home a new family member. Doesn't matter whether it's a dog, a cat, or a hamster, that little or big creature changes everything and becomes a big part of a person's life. Unfortunately, animals don't live as long as we would love them to (and that's their only flaw). Pets bring a lot of joy, but there comes the time when one has to say goodbye to a dear friend.
