I spent my summers on my family farm in upstate NY, have always cared for animals (dogs included). I live with my boyfriend in a spacious first floor 2 bedroom apartment. We are steps from a private dog park, and a five minute walk from the Fells. Our 1 year old dog (Alaskan Klee Kai) has separation anxiety, so we commonly hang around the apartment in the evenings and weekends. We also have a patio area that we can fence in so the dogs can join us outside. Our car has a "hammock" for the back seat, so they can join us if we need to run errands.
