My husband and I recently moved to the Mesa area to be close to our youngest daughter ( who has 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 rats and 1 fish), I guess she inherited the "pet love gene"! We are from the great state of Minnesota and excited to experience the sunshine of this state and the friendly people! We have raised dogs and cats throughout our entire lives, from a terrier to a shepherd to a basset. Cats galore! All have been raised as a family unit through time and patience, love and play. I talk to the "babies" so they can visit with me~ They all have stories to share and I love to hear them :-) Fur babies sharing acreage, apartment living and now to full-time RV-ing!
