[nagdu] Guide Dogs and Pets

[Margo and Arrow]

I want to eupand this subject a bit. I think Arrow would enjoy having another dog around. We have a cat at home and he and Nina hang out together quite a bit and they have to know what the other is doing. 

How about exotic pets? My partner's daughter's family now has a cute little white rat for a pet. They have named her Spike Taco Rocko I haven't yet let Arrow and Spike meet because she's new to their family and am iure it's an adjustment for her. I also don't want either Arrow or Spike to accidentally hurt one another. I intend to talk to Arrow's vet about this and also to a pet store owng.
