I have a 12 year old pup and a 1 year old pup. I understand different needs that are met for different age groups. I have a small yet decent size backyard for them to keep active when walks aren’t always available. The 12 year old has a hard time on walks so we opt to sun bathe in the backyard. I keep active with my 1 yr old pup and like to go for 30-45minute walks. I’ve torn a hamstring twice so I no longer run with my pups. I have crate trained both of them. I have my own transportation to be able to commute. I have 4 cats in my household and my own cat has special dietary needs than the others so I understand importance of who gets what. A spare traveling crate for kitties in case of doctors visits. It is important to me that all fuzzy babies are taken well care because they bring so much joy to our lives. I would never want to hinder that.
