Walking in to my home feels like walking into some sort of zoo.
- There are animals all over the place.
And with each week, it seems we trade out one bunch of animals for another. The women in my life have become increasingly involved in fostering animals who are looking for a new home. My wife has always been an extreme animal lover. So, it seems natural that my daughter would be right there along with her. It is actually quite beautiful to see the bond between daughter and mom brought about by all these needy animals. I just do my best to help out where I can. Recently, I even turned part of our house into a sanctuary for these foster pets. However, I still have to be diligent about protecting the HVAC unit. With all these pets in the house, the fur is literally flying. In a house without 20 or 30 pets, the air filter is changed about once per month. But this just won’t do for our situation. I buy some of the very best air filters on the market. They are built to catch as much of the allergens and pet hair as possible. However, changing these filters just once a month would probably kill my HVAC. Every HVAC unit needs maximum air flow to perform to its best. The amount of pet hair accumulating on these air filters is massive. I actually buy the filter by the case. I change the air filters at least once a week to give the HVAC unit a chance to breathe.
