I own a 60 lb border collie mix and love her on the daily she is 4 years old and loves having friends around the house (furry or not). I know dog first aid, do not have hazards around or near the house, live in a middle class neighborhood and enjoy the company of man's best friend. I have to say I fight every day with myself deciding if I like humans or dogs more and for now I just know I love them both. I'm always happy to see a new animal and see the relationship the owner has with it. I am a firm believer of only using a kennel as a timeout for dogs but I have already removed that method from my personal pet. I love watching a dog roam the whole house and am happy to watch them make themselves at home while their parents are away.
