- No neighbors stomping above or slamming doors next to you
- A driveway with plenty of space to park close to the front door
- So much counter space in the kitchen
- Space to sprawl out - You can have two t-shirts sitting on the floor without the whole place looking like a mess
But there are also things that are nice about our apartment:
- Less space to clean up
- The AC cools the place down so much faster
- No stairs to walk up and down
The family we has sat for has a dog and a cat. The cat is fairly low maintenance, and since I'm a cat lover she and I get along very well. She doesn't purr like Mittens does, but she still enjoys a good ear scratching and neck rub. Unfortunately, her digestive tract is below average, and she likes leaving us treats. The house has a screened in porch, and Lilly loves sitting on it. She can listen for bugs and birds and soak up some rays. I really wish we had something like that for Mittens...one day.
Like I said, they also have a dog. He's a schnoodle (Schnauzer/Poodle) name Pippen. Pippen certainly does not lack energy. If he had to compete in an Olympic event I think he could medal in the high jump as well as the 100m dash. He is a very loyal doggy and enjoys following us everywhere we go. But for now, I think we'll just stick with a cat.
