I am not that big a fan of cats. But I once adopted a female black Labrador which I had to give up due to me going out for 3 years for work. As we didn't have any other person to care for it, we gave it to one of my friends. They were very excited while receiving Dolly but I told them that as she is female she required special care when she grew up. I was afraid of one thing that those people wouldn't care Dolly when she had her menstrual cycles. My fear actually came true when one day my mother informed me that they weren't caring Dolly properly. After hearing that I immediately returned for 2 days and got Dolly back to my home where she lived happily ever after and my mother who was reluctant to care for dogs loved and cared for her entire life.
