I am home throughout the day while my daughter is in school. Our family doesn't have any pets within the home for the first time in about 13 years. All of our animals have lived out their lives and we haven't been ready to commit to another animal just yet. However we love to have animals and the love they bring with them, even if just a short while. Cats and Dogs are both acceptable and I do not mind spending time with them in or outside of the home. I am familiar with good dog parks in the area and can promise a lot of play time and outdoor time. I am open to your preferences and if it is something in particular please let me know.
