I live in the S.F. bay area. When I was younger, I lived on a Ranch with Horses, Chickens and Pigs, but never had a dog of my own. I've been around animals my entire life. Mainly cats. Spider is My first dog. My Mom used to breed Miniature Schnauzers and decided that I needed one :) So now I have a little buddy and I recently got him a companion dog (Jack), so now I have two little buddies. I also have a cat that is very used to being around dogs and they all play together at times. My dogs are 13 and 9 years old and My cat (Silver) is 4. I am usually at home or nearby and I use nontoxic cleaners in my home for the safety of my animals. Update: unfortunately Spider passed away at almost 16 years of age. It was his time. I recently adopted a new rescue. A 3 year old Minpin named Minnie. I think Spider would approve, especially since his legacy continues with dogs (and a cat) that are being rescued. I still have Jack (12) and Silver (7)💜🐕🐾😺 I'm always taking care of animals, Every Single Day! :) It's been a part of my life for so long, it is literally the first thing I do from the moment I wake up I have a fenced in yard and 2 very playful doggies who would love to entertain some fubaby guests. I am good with crating your dogs at night to let them feel more secure in their own safe environment
