My family has had many animals as I grew up. I am an animal lover and now so are my kids. whether we have animals stay, I come over for a little bit, or they stay for just a little we would give them lots of love and care. So far we have not had any issues with any animals, we seem to have all like us. I find it fun to be around animals. If the animals are kid friendly then there's a bonus but if they aren't then we can work something out to keep the kids away if they end up staying with us at any point. Of course I'm willing to do drop in or walks instead if they don't need to come to the house.
