My husband and I have a 14 month old mixed breed puppy who is 100% friendly and submissive to all dogs. Xero just LOVES every human and dog he meets! As he is a young pup, he will be anxious to greet and welcome new friends. We have a very nice sized fenced yard for dogs to frolic and play, and plenty of squirrels to chase (Xero's favorite thing!). Our house is a split level with a carpeted upstairs and a laminate downstairs. Pets who are potty trained will have access to both levels, but those that might not be trusted may be limited to the lower level, but not to worry, there is plenty of space and comfort for them and Xero can keep them comfy and entertained. We do work the Monday - Friday grind, but we are full time working from home and on lunch breaks we take a 2 mile walk with Xero which your furbaby is welcome to join us on. My husband is not a fan of dogs on the bed, so Xero sleeps on a daybed in the guest room and he will gladly share the space, or if your pet prefers his/her own dog bed that is just as well too.
