I currently have 2 friendly, older dogs that are my children. They get along very well with other dogs. I have 5 other dogs that I watch from time to time for friends who go out of town on a regular basis. For a few days during the holidays, I had 7 small dogs keeping me company. My house is pet friendly. We have 7 doggie beds thoughout the house. We also have a doggie door, so they can go in and out in my fenced back yard as often as they please. I am home a majority of the time. The only time I am not at home is when I am working. I do not mind if dogs get on my furniture or if they sleep with me on my bed.
