In all the years I’ve cared for dogs I have never come across one that dislikes me ! I’ve had dogs around me since before I could even walk now i am a dog mom to a fantastic 3 year old Labrador retriever and a new mom to an loving 2 year old cat. My backyard is very spacious for your pet to run around and play ,it is also fenced off. Brix (my dog) and I try to be very proactive we don’t live far from the dog park so when it feels nice out we like to go there and stretch our legs and meet new people. We take long walks around our neighbor in springs, go to the beach and play in the water, or we’ll do brix’s favorite thing ever CAR RIDES !
