All of my critters have crossed the rainbow bridge. My first pet, Maggie, passed at home and my other three, Buddy, Sally, and Sam were put down due to illness. Our home is so empty without a pet. We are better people due to the unconditional love of a pet. I have a large corner lot that is fenced all the way around the backyard. Just one block from the country and all the space one could ask for. Our neighborhood is super friendly and great dog owners are everywhere. I teach Special Education thus, on my summer break. Plenty of time for any type of critter care. There is a pond close to our house should ya have a swimmer in your family. Thanks
