I have had pets since I was a little girl. Mostly cats and dogs but I have had two horses. My friends that have pets get presents from me any time I visit. I am that friend that comes to visit and ends up spending more time with your kids and cat or dog than my friend. I've had conversations with a chihuahua and made a chocolate lab laugh deeply. I love to take my Westie with me to the store for the sole purpose of brightening up someone else's day. I work from home doing multiple things. I am here and available whenever your little guy needs me. I can hang out with your baby any day. I have an acre and a huge front porch. My acre is NOT fenced in, however, when your dog needs to go out I will always be with him, as well as leashed, and no one and no other animals come on my property. My front porch is big enough for you pet to hang out on. My Westie is crated before I leave the house.
