I had a dog during all of my child hood, as I got older I decided to keep a cat while living on my own, So I have always been around animals. I have a fenced in back yard where they will be free to roam whenever they want to! Someone is always home, so your best friend can't get lonely when they stay with me. I have one dog of my own currently, Susie. She is a very mild tempered Yorkie terrier mix. She is nine years old, she getting old but she still plays like a young pup. She does get along with other animals. She is very quiet. You can expect that your furry friendw will be given the same treatment that I do to Susie. They will feel right at home and be so spoiled that even Garfield would be jealous! I do currently work as a waitress but my shifts are only a few hours long at the most and as mentioned someone will always be home. Please do not hesitate to ask me any additional questions you may have
