We weren't always a multigenerational hub. Nope, it was just us and our trusty dog, living life one tail wag at a time! 🐕❤️

Then we became a multigenerational household, and guess who joined the party? Another adorable dog! 🐾🎉 

Just when you thought that was it – surprise! A bee hive made a grand entrance! 🐝🏡


Honey isn't the only sweetness here – it's also about the joy of routines and exercise, courtesy of our delightful companions. 🏋️🎈


Picture this: chickens clucking around and bunnies hopping by – our household was a lively zoo! 🐔🐇 While the chickens flaunted their cuteness, the bunnies... well, let's just say they had quirks! 😅


Here's the scoop: pets are a multigenerational household's secret sauce! They bring smiles, laughter, and oh-so-needed cuddles, creating bonds that melt across generations. 🐱❤️👵


No furry friends? No worries! If pets aren't an option, we've got your back with alternative ways to enjoy all the perks of pet companionship. 🐾🌈


Get ready for an episode highlighting the boundless benefits of having these amazing companions in multigenerational living – it's a journey of love, growth, and endless tail wags! 🌟🐶🐦


“Bees are fascinating. So if you ever wanna read about them, they’re really fascinating. And our family worked very much like a beehive, with the worker bees and the soldier bees, the protector bees, the queen bee (which was my grandmother.) So it’s a really interesting kind of environment for multigenerational of how you can work together.” ~ Lisa Cini


“People love them [robotic cats]. It’s great for children. It’s a fantastic option. Especially if you’re on that kind of spectrum of Alzheimer’s/dementia, then you can have a companion pet that genuinely responds to you because that’s also an important thing of like connecting with the animal.” ~ Addie Cini
