Please note the presence of our senior dog and 2 cats. Be honest with yourself about your comfort with animals. Your comfort is our first concern but the animals live here and we cannot block them off in a room. The dog is 19 yrs old and may inadvertently get under your feet. And the cats especially like to roam the house. While they won't go in your bedroom, they will jump on the couch, counters, and tables. It's best to know this in case animals make you uncomfortable.
