A lot of my free time is devoted to my dogs (Siberian Husky & German Shepherd). They need lots of exercise and mental stimulation every day, not to mention their hygiene (brushing their coats, trimming their nails aka bear-wrestling practice, cleaning their ears, and brushing their teeth before bed are some of the basics). There's also the cleaning: vacuuming CONSTANTLY (I live with a husky, therefore my house is a snowglobe), cleaning pawprints off the floors/carpets, poop-scooping the backyard, etc. My "kids" require tons of work and energy, but they are most precious to me, and I love them every bit as much as my human family!
Aside from my fur-babies, I enjoy reading fantasy novels and historical fiction, baking anything with obscene amounts of sugar, hiking, jogging, and wine-tasting.
