We live on 111 acres so I could walk them on a lease for any distance. They would get an adventure in walking as we have deer at times as well as quail. The pets could sleep in our home at night as well as daytime. I LOVE animals and would love to own another dog but we do travel from time to time so would need a caretaker ourselves for a dog if we had one. Cats would be welcome on the furniture and dogs could if they are not heavy shedders. We prefer them on the floor but I can make them a comfortable bed. They would be right with my husband and myself at all times. I have had animals all my life but never dogsat before. I feel I almost am a dog whisperer as I seem to be able to pick up on their moods, needs and wishes.
