When my kids were home we adopted all types of strays and fostered many different dogs over the last 20 years. We love to work with dogs, play with dogs, and train dogs. We’re not professional trainers but we know how to make them mind and be good in a pack. Dogs are wonderful to have around as companions. They are each so individual that you grow to love all of them in their own way. There is a nice dog park just a block and a half from my house. It’s a clean dog park and the owners of the dogs who frequent the park are generally very responsible for their dogs. Also I have a very nice backyard where the dogs can go in and out of the house through the doggie door and lay on the back porch in the sun or play in the snow.
