I've had pets in my home for as long as I can remember... cats, dogs, fish, turtles. You name it, I've had them. They have always been a part of our family. They are family. =) I'm currently between jobs and have plenty of time to visit with your fur babies, letting them out to stretch their legs and play and making sure that they have plenty of food and water. Like us humans, our for babies need to get outside of there four walls as well. They need time to run and play as well as being loved on.
