I enjoy walking distance, around town or in state parks. I love ALL breeds. In our home we have a Collie/Pit, Yorkey, and Chihuahua joined with kitty and ferret siblings. Have had experience with sick pups, and senior, no issue with giving medication that they may have, with instructions. Car rides are very doable, rubs and love galore! On hot days there is a baby pool provided with supervision, along with some ice in a bowl while enjoying the sun. The couch and laps are always open, but its not grandmas house if doggie parents don't want their pups on furniture we have pillowed floor beds and plenty of blankets to provide soft warmth. We also have room for their must bring toy, and comfort belongings.
