Animal lovers

My kids love animals especially our youngest. The older ones, at first, are intimidated when they see an animal. At least when it gets up close. Then they warm up and fall in love. The youngest will hold and hug anything that moves. Well, except small bugs and then she freaks lol. I know the kids would love having an animal and keep wishing we could get one. Sometimes, I wish we could get maybe a small animal. Maybe a small dog or something. But other times, I'm glad we don't have a pet to take care of. The girls would love a horse and would love for me to buy them riding boots so they could learn to ride. There's no way we could have a horse anytime soon but it's fun to think about it. I've always thought it would be great to have a horse ranch but I doubt it will happen. Who knows though! :)
