I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a small child. I love all animals and love to play with them outside as well as relax on the couch with them! I have a fenced yard and sidewalks all around the neighborhood to take them out and play. If your best friend loves kids, I also have a five year old that loves puppies and dogs and would be very excited to keep your friend playful and cuddled. Animals are like family in our lives. They are bathed to maintain their health and they are allowed to sit with us on our furniture with no consequences. These are their four walls too! My yard is perfect size for running and playing but please do provide a leash for safety.
