THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2008 15 1. Do you have room for a pet? Apartments are not the ideal living space for most active pets. Most pets require daily exercise and space to move around. If you don't think your apartment can suit these factors, you may want to stick with a smaller pet that can be stored in one particular area, like a fish or a hamster. 2. Do you have time for pets? College is one of the busiest times in your life. School, homework, parties and bars are all parts of the schedule you have to consider giving up. If you don't think you will have time time for a pet, your best bet is to avoid getting one for the time being. 3. Will your apartment complex let you have a pet? If you didn't pay attention to the lease you signed for your apartment, go back and review it. Some apartment complexes in Lawrence have a 'No pet clause',which means there is a very strict No pet law enforced there. 4. Can you afford a pet? Despite what you may think, pets are pricey. Not only can they cost up to $500 range, but they require medical shots, food, vetenarian, boarding when you go out of town and other costs you never thought of. If you're already pushing the limits as far as your bills go, definitely reconsider getting a pet until you can actually afford it. 5. How to prepare your home for a pet? Anything that you think can be harmful to pets-electric cords, crumbs on the ground, glass, etc, needs to be removed. Make sure you have an apartment that is safe for a pet to live in.
