My husband, son, me and my sister have had dogs all our lives. They are FAMILY and we couldn't live without them! Our dogs (Cocker Spaniel & Basset Hound) are constantly attended to both indoors and out. There is always cold, fresh water, healthy snacks, lots of attention, play-time and belly rubs. They sleep wherever they want: furniture, beds, etc. They are NEVER left outside in this extreme heat - only to go potty. There are a lot of lakes and walking paths here in pet friendly Desert Shores. We do not crate dogs. They have full run of the house. They are happy, healthy and underfoot. Our dogs are spoiled and loved beyond belief, as it should be. We will love and spoil your dog(s) too!
