Since an extremely young age, my family has fostered dogs. We've had 13 different puppers that we took in until we kept our family dog from one of our fosters, we had Sam for 16 years! Aside from fostering, I have always been around pets. Currently we have a dog we rescued from the Dominican Republic, we found him in the middle of the highway and made it so now he's a Canadian! Urszula's mom back in Poland breeds and competes competitively her English Bulldogs. Urszula has also grown up knowing animals and loving and taking care of them since a very young age. Even in England, where we met, Urszula was taking care of a Staffordshire terrier. That is not an easy task compared to some breeds! My girlfriend Urszula and I have the utmost love and respect for pets! While at work we are constantly planning and talking about our doggy and what plans we have for them. We both have full time jobs but our schedules have it so we are only ever away from the house for no more than 3 -4 hours at a time. We walk our dog minimum 3 times a day for a minimum of 20 minutes at a time. We love going to the dog park or on random hikes in new places! We have a fenced yard. We also only allow the dog off leash in the backyard. He has a lot of energy and gets to run around the grass and of course dig all the holes we don't want in the flower beds! Our dog loves his crate and he goes in there as he wishes now. When leaving him elsewhere than our house we always give him the crate. Otherwise he sleeps with us either at the end of the bed or under the headboard.
