My son and I love animals, we only have 2 parakeets now, we've lost a few over the years. We want to play with and engage animals and have them to be very comfortable in our home. I have a cat allergy and my child son is an only child plus I home-school. He's lonely but active as well and we'd love to spend time bonding with one or more pets! We're creatures of comfort and pets would be showered with attention/affection. We live in 'dog country' here so walks would be fun for the dogs. I've never done this before and I'm trying to get started plus have my son learn responsibility and a little about a home business. We are home full time.
