I have had dogs all my life and wouldn't have our any other way. We currently have two dogs, Cozmo is a Male Shiz poo who is13 years old and Max is a male Dorky (Dauchaund/Yorkie mix) that is 2. "The Boys" are very much a part of our family and go everywhere with my husband and I. We like to go camping, too the lake and are generally pretty active. I do work out of town so I'm only available for home stays on the weekends. My biggest pet peeve is people who have pets and don't take care of them properly. I will take care of your pet the same way I take care of mine. My thought is, if you have pets, spoil them!
