I have just moved back to Phoenix for a position in outside sales. I am in and out of the house all day so pets won't be alone for too long. I do have my own 7 year old cocker spaniel who is currently in Tucson, waiting to move up when I find a dog friendly residence. I have had dogs since I was born. I believe pets are members of the family and should be treated like it. I think its important to keep animals in their own home and on the same routine as when their humans are home.
