Im a late 30's, stay at home mom of 2 girls who are in school part time. I also have 3 dogs of my own who I make special birthday treats for each one and a special car ride to the pet store to celebrate their adoption day. I have grown up around pets and animals. Starting as a young kid with a german shepherd , to a teenager with a herd of bishons. Later with a couple pugs and then now a lab, a pit and a pointer. Being a pet mom as well as a mom to tiny humans, I know leaving them is hard, even if its only for a day. Are they lonely? are they sad? do they have enough water and food? who will give him his pill while im out of town? I can do that. I can stop in to make sure the cat isnt stuck in the shades again. I can stay for a while and throw the ball around. I even give a mean butt scratchin', just ask my 80lb pittie snack attacker.
