Just moved to Indio/La Quinta border from LA and we have a million dollar backyard your dog will die for! They may not want to go home :) We are a family of 6 and I am home full time with my kids. My sister lives with us and helps out full time as well. The last 7 pictures on my profile are of the current back yard, perfect paradise for your pup! I have a huge love for dogs. I grew up with German Shepherds as a kid and as an adult I've had two little ones (Chihuahua and Min Pin) for the last 17 years. My chihuahua, Yoda, is 17, an old soul, very quiet and just chills all day. Min Pin is in doggy heaven. We also have a chihuahua/mix named Frank who is sweet as pie. I love all dogs and I hate for them to sit at home all day while the owners have things to do. They deserve daycare too :) We have 2 small children (1,4 months) and two older girls (9,8) who are here 50% of the time (THEY LOVE DOGS!) so all dogs must be ok with kids and other dogs. This is a family environment and our backyard is fully fenced with no chance of slipping out. The house is air conditioned all day for hot days and they can lounge all day when they are done running outside in the large yard. We have house cleaners that come each week (neat freaks) so the house is very clean. We are home all day to entertain and love your dog! I take them for 1-2 walks a day (depending on the heat) and always send pics/videos and updates throughout the day. I treat them like they are my own!
