I am retired but still active and have cared for many pets throughout my life -- from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and bunnies. We currently have three adult humans and 2 pets living in our home with whom we are all very close. Joxer is a 14-year old gregarious Chihuahua and our cat, Jemima, is a friendly 8-year old calico. Their "people" include myself, my husband and my adult daughter who works at Mud Bay Pets and is somewhat of a pet care expert. I spend most of my time here at home and care for our pets on a daily basis. They have both been around other cats and small and medium-sized dogs and gotten along well after an initial introductory period. We have a fenced backyard and I am also able to take dogs for walks in my neighborhood.
