I have had at least 2 dogs in my home since I was born! Since moving away from home, I have had no pets, but back home we have 4 dogs, ranging from 5 pounds to 90 pounds, and 2 cats. We are dog people! There are always more animals than humans in our house! I have been able to take care of all 4 at the same time for multiple days on my own. Feeding them, watering them, playing with them, and taking them outside. I have no problems with animals on my furniture or in my bed! I've always co-slept with pets! I also have experience with blind animals (specifically dogs). I currently work full-time, which generally looks like 4 days a week from morning to mid-evening.
