I've loved all animals since I was a very little kid. I was an only child for 10 years in a small country town with no neighbors for miles and I spent my play time and with animals (of all kinds). That early interaction has built a lifetime of love and respect for animals and recognizing their love for humans as well.; providing me the meaning of commitment and responsibility at an early age. I've never met a dog or cat I didn't like or bonded with. I have had pets all my life and some for extended life experiences. I believe in life-long commitment. Coming home to an excited tail wagging and happy face, along with a backup "meow" and leg rub make the end of a long day much more bearable. The companionship that a pet provides is a treasure and one to be remembered for a lifetime. I have one dog of my own (25 lbs) that loves the "sleepovers" that others pet bring to our home. He is very good with new acquaintances and shares his home openly. I also have a cat (20 yrs old) that has lived with other cats and dogs her entire life. She if very, very tolerable of visitors to our home. I have a large yard, however it is not fenced in , but is well off the highway. I also have a large covered holding pen. I live on a farm with neighboring horses, dogs, chickens, and goats. We will access to large plots of open green fields for walks and running that are very far off the highway that we do our long walks in. If your pet loves to ride - we love to ride on the golf cart and venture through the trails in the woods and fields for sightseeing. I have administered medicine via pill, liquid, drops. I am comfortable with all.
