I've always had dogs, I love them. They travel to the lake, Mexico, mountains with us. We recently lost two yellow labs. We have a yellow lab puppy now named Leo. We have a pool a large home and a fenced yard and love dogs more than anything :-) I am home all day long. My husband works full-time. Love to train dogs, people have always been amazed how well behaved our dogs have been, and how much they understand. We have had numerous dogs stay with us over the years from Chihuahuas to large breeds. The stays have been for a weekend up to a month. Our animals have always been very compatible with those who have stayed here.?????,l love and understand dogs needs.
