I’ve been around animals my whole life. My husband says I’ll give him & our kids away before I would our animals lol. I would treat your babies just like they’re my own if they sit on the couch with you then that’s where they’ll sit with me if they sleep with you then they’ll sleep with me. They’re just like kids & they will be my kids when you’re away I will play with them,walk them,sleep with them whatever you need me to do for you & then. One thing is guaranteed they will be spoiled & loved!! I have two fur babies at home one is a blue heeler & her name is blue & my other is a boxer mix named cocoa!
