My husband and I are retired and love animals. We have 2 small dogs, a toy poodle and a Yorkie bison. Both are males and neutered. They get along very well with other small dogs. We have a large, fenced in backyard for them to play in or do their business. When it is hot we keep them inside in the nice cool air conditioning. Weather permitting we will take them for a walk around the neighborhood, if they are used to going for walks. We love on them and care for them as if they are our own, We have been dog sitting for several years and really enjoy it.
