The keeping of pets is a thoroughly healthy occupation and brings us nearer to Nature, which is an excellent thing in these days of increasing materialism.
The interest taken by Hospitals, Doctors and Dentists in tropical fish suggests how restful a tank of these wee living jewels can be.For those of us with children there is a further and quite different point all together:- is not the keeping of pets, whether furry, feathery, scaly or finned, perhaps the best way of teaching our children some of the elemetary facts of life in a healthy and satisfactory Natural way?
Pet keeping is here to stay, so let us acknowledge our debts to these humble wee creatures by taking a very real interest in them, their needs and to continue to look after them as well and as sensibly as we can...
