Your furbabies will be as spoiled as mine. I hope I am able to lessen them missing their human. As far as walking them it's my desire to walk more and having a dog who likes walking with me will be an added bonus! You will be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing an animal lover is there to care for your puppies and cats. My experience is that I have a small poodle who is 11 years old and 3 cats. As I say they are spoiled. My "comeer" is rarely a few feet from my shadow and cats are not invisible they lay all over us as if we are their personal pillow. A lot can be said about a family with this many furbabies and they are a member of our family not pets.
