Personality Traits Determined By Your Pet-It’s Be Kind To Animals Week!
This week (May 2nd-8th) is "Be Kind To Animals Week," also known as Pet Week!
I've always believed that I was a dog person. I grew up with dogs. Never cats, because my mom is allergic. I wasn't really a cat person until I started hanging out at my then boyfriend's (and now husband's) house and got to know his cat, Willis. And now we have 2 cats, Tommy and Zimmy. Although we don't have a dog yet, (no yard,) I'm hoping we can move soon and get a German Shepherd.
So whether you're a dog, cat, or pig person, here is a list of personality traits according to what kind of pet you have.

Instead of cutting down tons of trees to manufacture paper, a new organization is utilizing something completely revolutionary: animal poop.
