Hi, I'm norma!
I live with two smallish good dogs & a long cat.
Pina is a female rat terrier-chihuahua mix, & weighs 11.5lbs. She'll be 8.5 in May. Rio will be 2. He's a 16lb miniature poodle.
They are both very sweet & well trained. They are animals & not perfect! Sometimes in the back yard they need some barking correction or to be called back in if there's too much 'talking' going on!
Patate is an indoor-outdoor Bengal cat. He will be almost 9 in May. He's out during the day but generally in between 6-8pm. He is fed on the counter to avoid dogs eating all his food. He has a litter box in the basement but usually doesn't use it in the milder months.
They all mean the world to me.
Pina sleeps mostly under the covers. Rio mostly in a dog bed, on the bed. Patate in the least desirable place, like your hip or ribcage! But can be moved!!!
I have a fully fenced yard with seating.
They definitely still require walks & presence. I need someone happy to be here, at my home, most of the time. No more than 3-4 hours away please.
The minimal outside duties are to pick up dog poops if any in the backyard & deal with household garbage. I would deep[y appreciate, & expect my house to be returned as you find it. Clean sheets on beds, clean towels, bathrooms, clean fridge, etc.
I have a lovely home in Owen Sound, close to the Bruce Trail, Kelso beach is a 5 minute drive away. Harrison park is lovely to walk the dogs at, if you take them by vehicle. I would provide my dog car seat. There are several restaurants & loads of grocery shopping options close by, some musical venues, art galleries, as well & lovely in-town walks. There's a Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings.
I enjoy walking & we often set out for 45 minutes + 2x/day. But you don't have to do that! 1 good walk & 2 small ones or other variations on the theme is fine.
There are 2 bedrooms upstairs which share a nice bathroom. Downstairs is a large kitchen, living room & powder room. The basement has another bedroom. All beds are Queen size, firm & comfortable.
My house is pleasant, clean & bright!
