There have been dogs in my life since I can remember: labs, husky mix, muts, Great Danes, dachshunds, and the current family dogs, Bassett Hounds. My man and I just bought our first home which sits on a generous 2.3 acres and a sizeable fenced-in backyard. We are *very* excited about this— partly because: WE CAN HAVE DOGS!!! :-D. In the near future we will be getting a dog of our own, but for now, we are welcoming yours into Our home. We do have cats; BUT we also have a main level and semi-finished basement *with a door in-between*. SO! We can separate the cats and dogs if needed. While I work the typical 8-5, my mans schedule is a bit more flexible. If your pup needs a litte extra attention between work hours, that can be accomplished. Soon enough, we will install a dog-door in the basement (which opens to the fenced in back yard.). Anyhow, I could go on, but let me assure you, we are both dog lovers and would love to get to know your fur-baby. :)
