I am a huge animal advocate and lover. I'm a teacher but work very close to my school so I am able to come home during lunch to for potty breaks. Your baby will get the attention he/she deserves and you can vacation with peace of mind! I grew up in the country on a small farm so working with animals is just a part of my life. I have volunteered with the human society and all of my pets have been rescues. I believe we are animals voices. When your pet visits my home they become part of our family. It's just me and my 8 year old son who loves animals just as much as me! We have a big fenced in backyard. There is plenty of room to play but hour baby is only outside when we are! We are home a lot so when I'm not teaching (8-3) more than likely I will be home. Can't wait to meet your fur baby!
