I’m Not In Favor Of Open Floor Plans Where The Kitchen & Living Area is Open….

@HeavenBesideYou Dogs have manner issues too!!

@HeavenBesideYou My cats would never do that.

@fun4us2b Some do, true, but I’ve never had a dog poop in rice on my kitchen counter and I’ve had dogs pretty much all my life

@UnderLockDown That’s good. I had a cat once that never did anything like that either, but she did reinforce that I’m definitely more of a dog person.

@HeavenBesideYou Most cats are too shy, plus have their litter box that they gravitate to....I've never had one, but my son does...he's very nice 😺 (so is my son!)

@fun4us2b I’ve had one years ago and before and since always had a dog. Right now I don’t have any pets, and sometimes I think of getting another dog since I have a large fenced in lot, but I’m also gone a lot and don’t want to lose the freedom to come and go as I please

@HeavenBesideYou yes, they are great, but need care...

@fun4us2b Right! I do miss having one around though. I get to visit my last dog at my son’s, he took him when he moved out, and used to occasionally dog sit for my daughter when she lived closer, so I haven’t been totally deprived

@HeavenBesideYou That's the best of all worlds if they're nearby....

@fun4us2b My son is 15 min away. My daughter is not though. Her and her husband are in LA for another year and a half.

@HeavenBesideYou Mine is out west too - maybe someday he'll be closer...😔

@fun4us2b They’re definitely planning on moving back this way when he’s done with his training. Counting down the months.

@HeavenBesideYou That's good. Hopefully was a good experience for them...living in a different place is fun.

@fun4us2b Neither of them are too fond of living in Los Angeles, but it is what it is. 🤷‍♀
