Hi ladydoe - what amazing insight and ways to allow your daughter a pet. Being on the scale myself, the first thing that came to mind about her fear of dogs and even your pet rabbit, I wonder if it's a FUR thing that makes her hesitate. Thinking outside of the box, but I wonder how she would be with a bearded dragon or tarantula...( I know, ,I know, EEEEEK!) anything that doesn't have fur. Maybe an aquarium might fit your household?
