Shawna has had pets/animals her entire life. She grew up on a ranch and learned to take care of animals early. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, cattle. It was never dull. Both Ethan and Shawna work from home full-time. They are rarely both gone at the same time for more than an couple of hours, like if they go to a movie or something. They are early birds and get their dog out for her walk early before it gets too hot. They have a large home with a big comfy sofa. Pets are family and allowed on all the furniture. They also have a doggie door to our Arizona room which leads to a large fenced back yard. Daily walks in the morning before it gets too hot. Ethan and Shawna both work from home and have plenty of time for walks and play time. Walks early in the morning before it gets too hot. Dogs are family & allowed on all furniture. Doggie door allows free access to screened Arizona room. Large fenced backyard. Dogs are supervised while in yard.
