We live in Tempe, Arizona, in a one-level, 2 bedroom home in a quiet neighborhood. Our backyard features a large patio, hot tub and inground pool. Inside you'll find a large screen TV, recently remodeled kitchen and very comfortable furnishings. We're near Arizona State University (ASU) campus with nearby shopping, restaurants, ethnic markets, numerous arts venues, museums, art galleries and plenty of parks to enjoy.

Arrow is a rescue. He is a 9 year old Border Collie/Lab mix who suffers from fear aggression. For the most part, he is a sweet, smart dog. But he is sensitive. He’s not vicious but when he is stressed, he will snarl as a warning. Heed the warning! Back off and let him be. He will not do anything he does not want to do. Just feed him, give him water, a few treats, let him in and out and let him sleep, chew his toys, and play. Don’t try to pet him, put a leash on him, or give him love.

Squeek is a female Tortie who is about 14 years old. She seems to be in good health albeit she has an enormous appetite these days and pees A LOT. She is very vocal and will let you know when she’s hungry. Be careful not to fall for her antics. She has a self-feeder in the bathroom.

FEEDING

Breakfast: They will both be letting you know about breakfast as soon as you get up in the morning. Feed the cat before you feed the dog.
o Squeek: ½ can of ProPlan.
 Feed in hall bathroom. She has a self-feeder in the bathroom if she’s still hungry after the wet food.
 Give her fresh water in the hall bathroom.

Dog: Arrow will usually go outside to pee as soon as he gets up. Then..
