I have owned and cared for dogs and cats all my life. I have owned Fox Terriers, 5 Minature Schnauzers, 7 Golden Retreivers, 1 Jack Russell, three Brittany Spaniels, American short hair cats, and Siamese cats. I have shown 2 schnauzers and 2 Goldens to AKC championship and have been a veterinary hospital manager for almost 5 years. I have rescued 3 dogs and four cats from the roadway and the shelters. In fact the Golden I have now is a rescue. I just lost my other Golden to cancer 4 weeks ago. I love cats and dogs and since I have no children, they have become my wonderful companions. I interact with each pet, dog walks, playing, free reign in my fenced back yard and toys to play with. Typical day for overnight guests, is bathroom first thing in the am. Breakfast, bathroom again, a walk, play in the backyard. 2nd walk late afternoon. Supper, bathroom and bathroom again before bedtime. Please I do not accept "pee pads", our furry children must be house trained. Thank you.
