I love animals of all sorts , cuddling on couch, and lap dogs . Always talking to our animals, like they’re people. I haved had many cats over the years as well as a few dogs-a medium sized mixed, and a miniature dachshund. Right now we have one dog a very friendly energetic 6 1/2 yr old Irish Setter, Molly. **UPDATE our hearts are broken as our sweet Molly passed away this last month w/stomach cancer.**Molly and all dogs in my care are regularly taken on walks and to play in the backyard. We have a 15 year old bird Truman who is a lesser Cockatoo. Our 15 yr old daughter has a parakeet named Cookie , both caged with lots of free time but can be moved into gated room when sitting . All animals cared and loved on greatly !! I homeschool so we are home much of the day, occasional activities will take us away for an an hour or two here and there .At bedtime, we sleep in our beds and Molly would sleep in her crate in my bedroom . Our cat Hootie prefers to stay clear of the dog, but is a sweetheart with the small dogs, misses our Mini-Doxie. Lol we would love a farm ! Requirement that all dogs must be okay with cats !
