Your loved ones just want to please their families. We all need something to do with our time, our loved ones are no different. They want to feel useful and know that they are helping your life to be a better life. I give your loved ones a chore, task to keep them happy and doing what you asked them to do. I do work different hours of the day. However, I am available mostly in the evening and early mornings. I love teaching our loved ones new tricks. Being useful and wanted is what our loved ones want. Our loved ones are truly family too. I have an American Fox hound (7 years old) Ryan and a Siamese cat (5 years old) Phillip. They are brothers and get along well.
