My house is on a large lot. The backyard is huge and perfect for running and playing with a totally fenced in area and the rest is secure all the way around except for the driveway, which I guard when letting my own pup run and play. I have a 9 1/2 year old beagle named Malcolm who has many toys that he is happy to share with a guest dog and a 3 year old Maine Coon/tabby mix named Albert who thinks he is a dog and gets along with them perfectly. My boyfriend is around most of the time and helps out with my boys and would probably be putting in some play time with your pup too.
