I own 10 pets of my own the best part is playing and cuddling with them. And ill treat yours as well as I treat my own. I love taking walks I think its the best excersize and I work with kids and I believe kids and dogs go hand in hand. I see how much just being around dogs have such a positive effect on children its a beautiful thing. I own 5 cats 3 guinea pigs a reabit 2 hamsters and fish. I have a medical needs cat. My youngest daughter wants to be a veternarian and we have the pet love and experience to help her to her goal. I have 2 special needs children so I understand and have the patience needed.
