I have 4 plus years of caring for animals of all types with the exception of reptiles. Ive cared for all types of dogs from "aggressive breeds" to fluffy giants who think they're lap dogs. I love each animal i meet as if they were my own. I have a 7 yr old yorkie, a year old dachshund and her pup. I also have rat who is caged at all times. My porch is blocked off for my own dogs to hang out and your baby would be allowed to do the same. We all know how they love to sun bathe. I have a tons of safe dog toys, but if your pup has a their favorite toy don't hesitate to bring it along.
