Our day starts at 7 a.m., when the dogs, baby, and I enjoy breakfast together, followed by a potty break outside. Once they’ve had time to digest, we head to our fenced-in yard for some fun—playing fetch, keep-away, and chase! We also enjoy some downtime, or as I like to call it, a “pack nap.” Throughout the day, the dogs get outside 3–4 times to play with me or my husband, as well as for potty breaks and fresh air, ensuring they stay happy, active, and well-cared-for.
