My husband & I have had & raised dogs our entire 40 year marriage. We even showed Afghan Hounds in the 1980's. Our dog kids helped us raise our people kids. We've had experience with several breeds over the years. We've had experience with puppies through seniors. I've taken care of & loved dogs & all animals my entire life. Our 'kids" are spoiled rotten. We spend everyday with them. We like to go on walks in the neighborhood or to the nearby park with lots of hiking paths. Emma is our very senior, 12 1/2 yr. old bloodhound. She's a sweetheart but thinks she's the boss from her throne. She can't get around very well anymore & welcomes new friends. Jean Harlow is about 2 1/2 yrs. Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever rescue. Lot's of energy & LOVES new playmates! She regularly has playdates with her buddy across the street, Great Dane, Dexter. She's such a lover. We adopted a new guy this summer. His name is Clark Gable, more of Clark Griswold, Goldendoodle. He turned 1 year on 9.22.2022. He's hilarious, tons of energy, & I mean TONS, loves to play in the water & play ball. He can be quite mischievous & is such an ambassador! He & Jean Harlow are inseparable &, together, they welcome all new friends. We are retired & are available 24/7 as needed. We do enjoy meeting our friends for dinner or lunch & early Sunday morning breakfast from time to time for a few hours & can crate or free reign or whatever makes your baby comfortable & only if your baby would be comfortable. We feed our kids mid-morning & in the evening but they're very flexible. Emma demands a 10pm snack..haha We can feed your dog exactly their preferred schedule. We have a very large corner lot completely fenced in with lots of room to romp & explore. On beautiful days, the back door is left open so they can come & go as they like. Emma, Jean Harlow & Clark sleep in our room with us & are allowed on the bed when they feel like it. So can your baby or crated, etc.. however they feel safe, secure & at home. Also, we live in a very small neighborhood with approx 33 houses with 1 street in & out, so there's virtually no traffic.
