I'm a dog lady....it's true. I have one child at home who is 6 and has been helping me take care of and train pups for half her life. We have one senior Yorkie, Jon Bon Jovi, who is just like another child and recently added a Poodle mix rescue to our mix. We have always owned dogs. I take my dog out about every hour and we walk 2-3 times per day. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of places to curl up and take a nap. Because I have a child in the home, I prefer smaller dogs with friendly, outgoing temperaments so that she can help to care for and love on the babies. Bring your four-legged kid over to be spoiled rotten by the whole family!
