I HAVE HAD DOGS MY ENTIRE LIFE. I CURRENTLY HAVE THREE SMALL CHIHUAHUA'S. WE HAVE A GOOD SIZE BACKYARD AND TILE FLOORS SO THE DOOR IS OPEN ALL DAY FOR THEM TO GO IN AND OUT AS THEY LIKE. IF WE ARE DOING OVERNIGHT WE WILL KEEP THEIR BEDS AND CRATES IN OUR BEDROOM TO MAKE IT MORE COMFORTABLE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DOGS THAT I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF FOR FRIENDS AND ENJOY THE INTERACTION THAT MY DOGS GET FROM THE DIFFERENT FUR BABIES. I WILL WANT TO KNOW YOUR ROUTINE SO WE CAN KEEP IT AS CLOSE TO HOME FOR THEM AS POSSIBLE. WE LOVE CUDDLES AND NAPS. I WORK OUT OF MY HOME AND HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THEM IN MY STUDIO WITH A DOOR TO THE BACKYARD AS WELL. IF THE DAY IS TOO COLD THEY HAVE A LARGE FIREPLACE AND HUGE BEDS TO STAY WARM AND TAKE LONG NAPS.
