I grew up with dogs my whole life and have a fur baby myself. I have a house with a nice size fenced in yard. They are allowed in part of the house and outside as much as they want. I believe they love being outside and playing more than being inside the house. I am currently working full time at home. Flexible work schedule so potty breaks and play time happens a lot. While I have a breaks at work, walks happen more times than not. I do have 2 little kids who love pets and are very playful. They are not home 24/7 but will be around your fur babies. I have a nice sized full fenced in yard and a fur baby myself. They will have a fur friend during the time visiting with lots of time to play and having fun!
