Growing up we had dogs, cats, parrots, rabbits, goldfish, hamsters. There's never been a time in my life where I didn't have at minimum, a dog and a cat. I consider pets to be full members of the family deserving of love and care at all times.
I'm not able to board pets at this time. I'm happy to stay with them where they are.
