I don't have pet experience with the exception of my daughter dog. We walk around neighborhood and play in the yard.he will cuddle on my feet when I washed tv. He stayed with me for about 4 days .my daughter went on a vvacation.. the only problem I have was that when I went to the store he destroyed all my blinds. Other than that it was home and he keep me company. I did have a dog on my own. Got her at Missouri when we were station at Fort Leonard Wood .a man have a box with 2 dogs front of a Wal-Mart. We named her File. She traveled with us every where. Went to Hawaii,Germany, Florida and Puerto Rico. Unfortunately she died here.
