There are 5 of us in my family. Myself, my husband, and our 3 boys (2 teenagers living at home). I and my family have owned, or been around dogs, the majority of our lives. My first dog was a mutt and he was a great dog. My husband and I got a yellow lab shortly after we got married (she is no longer with us) and my family recently had to let our german shorthair cross the rainbow bridge. We also have had, and currently have, other pets such as rats, bearded dragons, and iguanas. We love to snuggle and play and give scratches. Each animal in our home is treated like a family member, whether it's ours or one that's visiting. I work outside the home as a part-time lunch lady, so the majority of my availability is for the weekends. Though I am willing to have your pet come and stay any day of the week, but they would need to be kenneled for about 4-5 hours while I am at work. I can't wait to meet your furry, scaly or feathery baby and have some fun with him / her. *Note - not accepting dogs over 80 lbs*
