Hi ,

Years ago, I read an article about kids. Based on this article, I asked three of my friends this question: If you could do it all over again, would you have children? One immediately said yes and one immediately said no. The third said that they wouldn't do without them now but if they chose differently then.... The one that said yes had a three year old and the one that said no had three teenagers. When I related this story to a very intelligent friend who worked in the medical field a few years back, she said that there are studies that prove people without children are happier. I absolutely KNOW that my friends with grandkids would disagree!! Great discussion material right!?

Woody and I have no children. When my ex, who said we could talk about kids if I ever wanted one, changed his mind and said no way, I then got a dog. Ocean was my soulmate doggie who is now in doggie heaven. I cannot tell you the joy she brought me through thick and thin. Woody and I have three dogs. OMG! What were we thinking when we got the year old "failed foster" about a month ago? The truth is "dogs are alot of work." But they give you so much pleasure and not only that, take a look at this list of benefits of being a pet owner. If you don't already have a dog, you may be inspired to get one. :)
