I have a horse so I spend most my day walking and outside with animals, your dog can be taken on long walks and come with me to the yard that is completely enclosed with room for them to run and play. I have three cats at home and a golden doodle, the cats are extremely dog friendly having been with them their whole life’s. My golden doodle (Lola) is two years old and always wanting a pup to play with! I have had experience with elderly disabled dogs such as blind or not very mobile, I have grippy socks of them in they struggle with my wooden floor and I have waterproof coats for them to try and reduce mud they bring back with them!
