I am work from home most of the time, with occasional outings for work. I have a car to take your dog on a car ride to the nearest park for a nature walk. I have a yard and a pretty docile cat who hides in the closet sleeping all day on most days. Growing up we had many animals, always at least one dog, cats, birds, guinea pigs, mice, horses, rabbits, fish, and even a pigeon that was rescued as a baby and lived on the top of our refrigerator when I was a child. My mother is an animal lover notorious for rescuing stray and sick animals, nursing them back to health and finding them homes. My current lifestyle doesn't allow for a dog and I'd love to have one around to pet, walk, and play with.
