I feel I know what dogs are saying. I pay attention to them all the time. I provide a safe place for them to play and I go outside with them to keep an eye on them. I notice if they are hungry, tired, sleepy or if something out of sorts. I especially don't leave anything out that would be harmful or shouldn't be touched.I understand potty accidents happen so my floors are easy to clean. I am home a lot and I am inclined to sing to them too and of course play with them. They can sleep on my bed too. I love all my neighbors dogs and the dogs know it and love to stop anytime and visit if I'm not busy
