Have had birds, cats, dogs and fish. Love all animals. Raised poodles for 30 years. Love talking to them and playing dog games. Like walking my pets. Animals seem to like me. Would never think of herting any animal. Don't mind doggie kisses.. I like outside gardening so I spend time out doors with my pet. I'm 65 but not an old lady. Lol. I also sing to my pets. They feel special. I like them by my side in my home. It's also ok if they wonder under my bed. Just need to supplement my social security. Can't wait to meet my new little friends. I also have an SUV in case of an emergency or any transportation needs. Animals are a joy to be around.
