I always make sure they are happy fur babies no matter the age. I make sure they are fed groomed potty when needed and willing to train if its needed. Also give lots of love and play time will be all day off and on. Last but not least i will treat your dog as if it is my very own. Your dog will always have a watchful eye on him or her even when they are sleep to playing it will always be a safe environment. I have a nice fenced in backyard for potty and playing purposes. I do own a cat . she is very accepting caring and playful. I have room to separate the two if needed.thanks for reading hope to hear from you soon.
