My dogs do not have any special need, however they have very distinct personalities and preferences. Penny is 3 years old and loves to play occasionally. Her favorite pass time is sleeping outside on one our our benches. Buddy, who is 1 years old is more energetic and thinks it is always play time. He likes to chases Penny, birds, insects, and other dogs who come to visit. His energy level can be too much for some dogs and he needs redirects to find something else to do other than bother his friends.

In the morning we sit out on the back deck and bask in the sun as it rises. After wandering around the gardens and finding potty spots in the yard we go inside for a little morning nap. Around lunch time we are back outside in the shady grass listening the birds and watching the bees. We like to take our walks in the late afternoon (weather permitting) to the arboretum and greenway. My dog's love socializing at the dog park so we frequent the one by the humane society. If we cannot go for a walk we will play fetch and tug-o-war with our favorite toys in the fenced in back yard. On hot days we cool off with frozen ice treats or chew sticks.
