Dogs and cats are not just something you own. They are members of your family and deserve all the love and care you can give. Let me give them that care and love when you need to be away. My family currently has one dog and one cat and 3 human children. Murphy our dog is about 70 pounds of puppy that is spoiled as much as can be. Spencer our cat loves to be fed and left alone unless he decides he would like his head scratched (then its ok to touch him). Typical cat! I've owned small dogs to big dogs, loving cats to talk to my tail cats. I love all animals like they were my own babies. : ) : )
