I've had dogs throughout my life. From a dauchsand in my childhood, a rat terrier in a prior relationship, and a dalmatian currently but lives with girlfriends parents. We have a wonderful 5 year old son who is in Kindergarten this year. His name is Liam and he's the most wonderful and happy little boy. He plays so nicely with all dogs and just a very happy kid. We also have a 2 year old boy named Matthew who is probably more outgoing than his big brother and more curious at the same time. We are a loving house who look at animals as our extended family. We would treat your dogs with love and the respect just like a family member deserves in life.
