Taking Care Of Your Pet
People think having a pet and taking care of it is easy it isn’t. Before you buy a pet do a lot of research, buy a book or look online.
Cats are the easiest pets to look after as they tend to look after themselves, buy a cat flap so they can come in and out as they please, clean the litter tray daily, keep water and food down for them, as cats eat little and often. Also booster injections every year.
Before you go out and buy a dog there are a lot of things to consider. Is the garden big enough? Is there always someone around to take it for walks? Are you going to take it on holiday with you, or put it in kennels? A happy dog can give you years of happiness. Dogs can be expensive to keep, injections when they’re puppies, then a booster every year. If you’re not going to breed from your dog, neutering it is also expensive. Don’t overfeed your dog with scraps, cheese, chocolate and milk isn’t good for your dog. If you take your dog out in the car, always keep a window slightly open; take a bowl and plenty of water with you, especially if it’s hot.
Rabbits and Guinea Pigs can live together, but not if the rabbit is male, as they will fight. Rabbits need to be cleaned out two or three times a week. Never give a rabbit lettuce as this could kill it. Don’t keep your rabbit or Guinea Pig in the hutch all the time, build them a run, this way they can exercise and get plenty of fresh air, also keeps the grass down. In the winter if you’re not going to keep it in the house, protect it from the cold, by putting it in a shed.
Fish pretty much look after themselves. If you’re going to buy fish it can be expensive for a start, with all the equipment you will need, water pump, air filter etc, this will save you cleaning the tank out every few days. If you’re using furniture polish or fly spray cover the tank if it hasn’t got a lid, the fumes from these can kill fish.
If you’re going for the more exotic animals such as Snakes and Spiders, always go to a reputable dealer, there are a lot of these exotic animals for sale on the black market. These tend to need expert care.

What bothers you the most about taking care of your clothes?
Is there something that really, really bothers you about taking care of your clothes? Do you wish someone would come up with a solution for it?
It bothers me to pick up the clothes and put them in the drawer.

Ironing.
And PLEASE neither polyester, rayon or nylon is the answer!
I can’t even be in the same room with that crappy fabric let alone wear it.

YES!!! I wash them, I dry them, but that’s as far as it goes. They never get out of the laundry basket. If I ever had enough $$$, I would hire someone to fold & put away my laundry!!! I know it sounds like a trifling thang, but it’s my one pet problem. I get down on my hands & knees & scrub floors, will scrub out the toilet, no problem, do dishes galore – but not fold the clothes!!! Arrrgghhh!!

Ironing! My husband works in an office, and so he has lots of clothes that need to be ironed! He can’t do it. He doesn’t know how. He’s tried, but he just can’t do it. And I hate it. Even stuff that’s supposed to be "wrinkle free" still needs a little ironing!
References :
That I keep having to do stinking laundry!! I hate doing laundry!!
References :
What bothers me the most is they keep shrinking…sigh.
G.G.

Yes, I don’t mind the laundering, the stain removal or the storage, but my expert hubby does all of the ironing because I ruin everything I touch with an iron. But, I really wish someone would come up with an alternative to dry cleaning, especially for men’s suits.
I’ve used the Dryel product for dry cleaning only sweaters in the dryer, but it made a mess out of my husband’s suits. I hate the smell that the dry cleaners leave on the fabric. There is just no way to clean a man’s dress suit at home without destroying the fit or the fabric.

i hate handwashing the ones that need to be handwashed and i also hate hanging clothes on hangers, its too much of a pain
References :
ironing…don’t like it..try not to do it,,.will try and get out of it for as long as possible,,

keeping the wrinkles away from my good dress shirts.

Honestly, it’s the fact that it’s never ending! I can get every last piece of dirty clothes washed, dried and put away but that evening there will be 3 sets of clothes in the hamper waiting for their turn to get washed. I hate that! The other thing I that gets to me is folding underwear, bras and matching up socks. I tend to leave this load of clothes for last because it takes so long to do. And there is always a sock missing.
