I read a blog post today on Petside.com,  5 Myths About Dogs and Babies and I think it is great information that is important to share.  Many dogs find themselves homeless when baby arrives simply because they are confused and have not been given the proper training to handle the many changes that accompany a bundle of joy.  Work with your dog before and after your baby is born and give them the chance to grow up as best friends.

I came across some very interesting statistics about pet owners in Parade Magazine's America by the numbers:  Pet Owners Edition.

• 62 percent of Americans have a pet.  Of those, 69 percent have a dog, 51 percent have a cat, 11 percent a fish, and 7 percent a bird.  (8 percent have an unusual animal.)
• More than 90 percent of Americans consider their pet a member of the family.
• 25 percent of American say they have tasted their pet's food.
• $50.84 Billion is the estimated amount that owners will spend on their pets this year.
• 66 percent of Americans would not vote for a presidential candidate who didn't like pets.
