We have had several dogs over the years. for the last 16 years we have had golden retrievers. My wife calls me the dog whisperer. I would rather spend time with animals than people. Our dogs we call our kids and follow us all around the house. I just love dogs !!! We have a fenced and where no g=dogs can get out of the yard and they have plenty of room to roam and use the bathroom when they want to. Any dogs can play with our 3 beautiful golden retrievers. The dogs are kept in the house in the air conditioning so they do not get over heated. I am retired and I am home all the time except for if I have an appointment .
