I can't remember a time in my life that I haven't had fur babies!! Alvin, our 12 year old dachshund and Brody, our 1 year old shep/hound mix are full of energy and love to play. Yes, they may be a little spoiled :) We have 3 kids (Ages 12, 10, 9) that love to play in our large, fenced backyard with the pups. I have cared for friends' and family's pups while they have traveled and always miss them when they go back home. I work Monday through Friday but am typically off at 4:00 so can offer visits, walks & potty breaks after 4PM through the evening or any time of day on Saturday & Sunday. For a stay at our home, I typically leave the house for work around 8:30 and my husband is typically home around 3:30 with me not far behind him around 4:00. Our weekends are typical weekends with hanging out around the house with the occasional errand. Our house has a large, fenced backyard that your dogs and mine can run, play fetch, and enjoy the outside. Our subdivision is quiet for nice walks and we live minutes from Grants Trail where we can go for longer walks. After walks, we come home to snuggle on the couch and just relax with a little treat (mom or dad approved, of course...) Like I said before, my pups might be a little spoiled :) Alvin is an older pup who likes to keep to himself and sleep. Brody is almost 15 months old and full of energy. He loves to play and run with new friends. He also loves to snuggle up with friends for a nap. Brody is crated when we are not home while Alvin is left out to sleep on his bed.
