In my family, while growing up, there was an unwritten requirement that we have at least two dogs - and a cat - at all times. Because of this, I was raised feeding, walking, training and, most importantly, loving (or should I say "worshipping"?) furry friends. Although I do not own a pet at the moment, I stay busy walking and caring for other folks' lovies and have fostered and adopted rescue dogs and cats in the past. I am a teacher so I leave earlyish but return home earlyish as well which gives me time to spend with a furry friend in their humans' homes. Walking, playing, and hanging with dogs and cats are things I enjoy and do well. It makes life better!
