I grew up on a farm and something we ALWAYS had was an abundance of cats and dogs. We had the array of farm animals, of course. But we had more cats and dogs than anything else. I adore animals in general [all kinds] and really miss being around them. Before I moved to the area, I fostered cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies. I had animals in, around, all over my house constantly. I live in a house, and unfortunately have no fenced in yard to release the pets into, but we do have a small side and back yard and live near a park. My own three pups are walked constantly throughout the day and taken outside on their leashes and harnesses to play. You won't find someone who loves animals more than I do, nor will you find someone who will care more for your pets as if they were my own. When I take care of pets, I don't just leave them in their kennels for most of the day. They play with my own pets, they play with me and my husband, they're loved and cuddled and pet all day long and have plenty of toys to play with as well.
