I have always loved animals and always have had a pet of my own, due to my new schedule of constant visiting my family overseas it's been decided by my family and I that we wouldn't adopt one of our own for now so it won't be left alone or with someone else while we travel since we tend to spend 3+ months when we go. But animals bring me so much joy and taking care of other's pets became a way of being close to animals and getting to treat them like my own.
The outdoor part of my house is fenced and big, the pet is allowed to be inside and spend the night inside too. (Probably in my bed π)...
