My family use to breed and raise Dalmatians, we've always had dogs in our family. My wife and I have our dog that we love and care for he's a bit spoiled but we'll mannered we try to keep an orderly household by having rules on him. We have fostered before and on going babysit friends dogs. We have cats for the most part they mind themselves if they are left alone. We have had to put the cats in a spare room on occasion but we manage. My wife and I have full time jobs I am furtunate to work only have the week which leaves me with lots of time . To spend at home with my four legged friends. . . ..
