We have four amazing dogs. They oldest is 12years old and our youngest dog is 2. We get up bright an earlier every morning around 6am. I let the dogs out and get there breakfast ready and my coffee. Then we are out the door usually by 6:30 with our two older dogs. We can usually only go around the block. Then I drop them off and grab our two younger dogs. We usually do a mile or two. It just depends on the weather. Usually we are done by 7:15 am. Then they all have their own beds and that’s usually ware you can find them or under my son high chair waiting for food to drop. They all get dinner around 7pm and then lights out for everyone at 8pm. Our two older once sleep in our room on there bed’s because I might have to take one out in the middle of they night. They truly are apart of our family and we love them all. I would treat your dog or cat the same!!! We love all animals!
