[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope - they are old enough to appreciate experience gifts at 5 and 9, and the 9 yr old will be thrilled with having an animal fostered/adopted/rescued in her name as a gift. [/quote] Yeah, we have a real live rescue dog of our own so I think that would not be appreciated. Maybe I can use that to get dog #2 past DH? “There’s a toy shortage so I adopted a dog in your name.”[/quote] It's more like adopting a sea otter or penguin or something. Not a household pet.[/quote] OP and I wish you could see my face. Sponsoring a wild or zoo animal makes a lot more sense- no idea why I read this as “ceremonial adoption of a shelter pet that we could turn into the real thing”. Pretend otter adoption is probably not what DD has in mind. She did fish sit recently with great responsibility and success, so perhaps an aquarium setup would be a good alternative to toys and stuff. [/quote]
