Applicable to dogs that spend the day or night: Tallulah is spoiled with a bunch of toys that we keep in a laundry basket that is essentially a a toy chest. Tallulah loves tug of war if your furbabe does. Tallulah pretty much owns the living room couch when she is lounging that has room for friends to join her. We do have a gate we put up on our front porch to let the dog sit on the porch with us as we work (we all love porch sitting). We've got a decent size yard that Tallulah usually patrols off leash, however we'd keep your dog leashed to walk around. We also have a large crate available if your pet is crate trained. More applicable to dogs that would stay overnight: We live near several parks that we run or walk tallulah to in the evenings for exercise and play. There is a lake 1 mile up the road from us that allows dogs to swim in (Tallulah loves to swim). There is another park close by with large open fields that local dog owners like to allow their pets to run off leash. And there are a couple other parks that are just nice walks and interesting places to sniff. Being that it is summer we typically walk Tallulah early mornings or later in the evenings while it is cooler out and would keep that schedule until fall.
