Dr. Jeff Dizik, a Lincoln Park veterinarian, said cats also make good pets because they are "easy maintenance." However, the doc- tor cautions those starting fami- lies or parents with infants of the dangers cats can pose. Although rare, "sometimes cats like to cuddle up next to sleeping babies and unfortu- nately, there have been instances where cats have suffocated a baby," he said. udy Canvasser-Redmond and her family recently brought home Arlo, a gold- en retriever puppy. The Farmington Hills family tried to implement a plan where everyone takes turns letting out the dog. In their five months of puppy ownership, Benjamin, 17, John, 15, and Rachel, 12, have been pretty good about taking care of the dog, but often the responsi- bility falls on their mother. "There is a fair amount of buck passing," Ms. Canvasser-Red- mond said. "It usually gets down to who is doing something crucial and who is free." Their method seems to work fine because no one is complain- ing. In fact, the puppy gives the family something they all agree on. "We spend a lot of time laugh- ing and loving this dog," Ms. Can- vasser-Redmond said. When Arlo mysteriously got red paint all over the carpet, the teens rearranged the furniture so their Thanksgiving company would not notice the fresh stains. After the Redmonds decided to get a puppy, they did not have a hard time deciding on a breed. Many of their friends already owned golden retrievers and each raved about the temperament of their dogs. Deciding on a pet or breed should be a family decision. An animal should be picked accord- ing to its size, the personality of children in the house, the size of the yard and the amount of re- sponsibility the family is willing to handle. Even Jewish law has some- thing to say about pet ownership. Rabbi Steven Weil, of Young Is- rael of Greenfield, said Halachah does not allow one to eat until his or her pets are fed first. "Once a domesticated animal is dependent upon us, it's our re- sponsibility to take care of that animal," said Rabbi Weil, who grew up on a cattle ranch outside Buffalo, N.Y. If a dog or cat lives in a kosher home, its food does not have to be kosher, but according to Rabbi Well the animal's meal should not be made with milk and meat. And, during Passover, the ani- mal's food should not be made :74 +II nin yyl n.17 17 j NEW '96 TOYOTA CAMRY LE OR NEW i6 MAZDA 626 LX ALL NEW '96 LI COLN CONTINENTAL 11_60884, Touring pkg., JBL, han- dling, traction control, moonroof, leather, healed seats. $4000 down plus $3000 rebate down (assigned to dealer) 12,000 mi/yr. closed end lease. * * * * Huge "New to You" Sa Over 200 Used PRE-SPRINGTIME SPECIAL / _ k . _ NUM , , * q 2 Year Old Lease Returns With: Miles! • Low Payments! id No Down ed * e:l Down PaYIelNe* C a ll F ofr Details- )(- -1,-******** 18171, Auto, pwr. & moonrool, air, loaded!
