Hello my name is Nancy I have 2 boys and 2 girls 4 kids in total. My whole family loves all kinds of animals we have had dogs and cats before but we currently do not have any. I have a full-time job as a hair stylist but my daughter (14) and son (16) are always home when I'm not. My other to kids are 3 and 5 they love running around and playing with other pets! I have a large fenced yard with no holes in the ground or along the fence, passed pets I've watched have not tried or escaped. I will be in the back yard with the dog at all times just in case anything happens.Your furry pet will always be allowed on the couches and beds to sleep or lay on. I am comfortable giving medication to your pet if he/she needs it i have gave medication to other pets and i did just fine!
