I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I've had my own pets since I was 15 years old. Right now we have a dog and a cat in our home, they are best friends. Our cat goes outside except for the winter cuz we don't want him to get to cold. Our dog is potty trained and lets us know when she has to go outside but if we are away and at night when we're asleep we put a doggy pad down for her just in case, but for the most part she waits until morning. She has trouble going out in the winter so I bought her a winter coat and she absolutely loves it. I watch our neighbors puppy sometimes when he's at work and his puppy gets out. It's to cold for him to stay outside and our neighbor works third shift. When I watch our neighbors puppy, I take care of it as if it were my own. I'm a very sensitive person and don't like to see any animal get mistreated.
