I've had animals all my life. Since I was 7(29 now) I've been the one to be the caretaker for any animal I've owned. Living in an apartment I don't get the joys of having an animal of my own so I've found a loop hole that still lets me get to enjoy the sheer happiness, excitement, and caring feeling that caring for a fur baby would give me.(EDIT) I have since moved into a nice house in Pueblo with a fenced in back yard big front porch and plenty of room to roam.(EDIT) I AM NOW AN OWNER OF A 3 MONTHS OLD AS OD 11/12 PUPPY BOY I don't have a yard but I do have a fenced in dog area that is maintained and I plan to keep it that way too . I love going on walks so I hope your baby does too. My children, 2 daughters 10 and 7, live primarily with their father but occasionally they do stay with me. When you leave your babies with me you're putting the same amount of trust that I would when leaving my children with someone else. Because after all they are your children too. Hope to sit for you soon!
