Face if. We’re not talking about chickens or cattle here. We’re taking about “domesticated” creatures; translation: FAMILY. Our pets have personalized beds in our family living areas and our bedroom. (And yes, sometimes on our bed.). I’ll spoil your “kids” as much as you’ll allow. I’ll also respect your rules and implement whatever training methods you’re using if it’s a puppy. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a pet; dog and/or cat. I’m fortunate to work from home now so no more “latch key” pooches for me. I remember the stress and guilt when I did have to leave and sometimes had to forgo having a dog because of the job. But no more..”Oh Rover, oh Rover send Robin right over.” Sorry, couldn’t help myself. ☺️
