I am pet oriented. I have had dogs for a number of years. I do not have one right now as my German shepherd passed this past May. I love dogs and I also have four cats. I live in the country on a side road which is safe for walking and there is a wooded path down to Knights pond which is a couple of mile walk if the weather is good. If your dog is dog friendly I also have neighbors who own dogs that they could play with in a fenced enclosed area. The only caution is they would have to get along with cats. They would be very well treated by me in my home which is on 1 level floor.
