Our Irish Setter (Ginny) is very friendly, affectionate, energetic & loves attention. She gets fed dry dog food which sits out during the day for her to eat whenever she gets hungry, Ginny needs to be let outside during the day on a patio tether about every 4 hours to pee. She will also usually let you know if she needs to go out by barking, or running to the back door. We do not have a fenced yard, so Ginny goes on walks daily. She does have serious separation anxiety whenever Tim leaves the house, so will need a pet sitter who is patient, kind, calm and understanding. Our kitty (Abby) is a sweet, shy calico who gets fed soft canned food in the AM. and dry cat food PM. Abby is soft as a bunny, but has long hair, so needs her coat brushed daily (she loves it!) Sometimes she gets hair balls and throws (them) up. It takes Abby quite a while to warm up to strangers, so she may hide under the beds for a while. Ginny and Abby are healthy, indoor pets.
