All dogs are treated as a part of the family when they are here, which means they are allowed in my bed and on my furniture :-) I have a large fenced in back yard to keep them secure while they go potty, but they will never be left out unattended for extended periods. I also have a kennel, but it will only be used to keep them separated during meals (to avoid food aggression)....or if I have to run an errand. This is only to ensure their safety. Each day they are here I will send you pictures to keep you updated so that you know they are being loved and taken care of. I know how important it is for you to know your fur babies are okay while you are away.
