I grew up around dogs, having one ourselves and also my grandparents 4 dogs. When I left home I had a cat and after sadly losing him I decided to have an indoor cat who I sadly lost last year after having her for 16.5 years. Myself and my husband adopted a 7 year old Jack Russel cross Yorkshire terrier 8 years ago and sadly lost her the beginning of last year at 14.5years so as you can imagine last year was a sad year for me for losing my beloved babies. However we did decide to have another dog last year and welcomed Taylor to our home. She is a 1yr 7 month old Shorkie (Shitzu cross Yorkshire Terrier). She is a real character, also a typical noisy small dog, but we wouldn’t change her. We have 2 children as well, 1 teenager and also a 10 year old, so would need to be child friendly pets.
