I have raised dogs all my life, I'm up at 5:30am everyday and enjoy newspaper and tea on the back patio while the dogs play in fenced yard 1/4 acre grass (great for frisbee!) and 60' x 12' covered patio. Also, one block away is 10 acre Harmony park greenbelt, great for runs! My daughter works at PETCO so I have tons of toys! I also have 4 dog beds (new). Formal dining and living have gates, so pets are on hardwood floors or tile. I work at home part time, so pets are a priority for me, especially in the heat. Dogs are never outside for extended periods of time, unless the weather is comfortable. I have 2 gal. auto water feeder inside and out. My 2 dogs range in size from 8 lbs and15 lbs (see photos) they love visitors! My son's labrador comes over sometime to visit.
