Joel and his wife don't seem to be dog people. They seem to let your dog roam around their house (which apparently is there mother in laws house who doesn't like dogs, period.), and roam their backyard freely without supervision. Their backyard is a metal wired gate that is open to a huge Creek behind the house. Anyone can walk by back there. Not only that, it's a huge Creek, with my experience with the neighborhood there are many raccoons and other animals creeping about down there in those ditches. They have been times where I was directed to just leave my dog in the backyard since they were too busy inside. There have also been times where I picked my dog up and her collar was down around her waist. I don't know about you but I don't know what it takes for your dog's collar to be down around their waist in looking all disheveled as if she was wondering the house all day alone... shrugs*

Super friendly and flexible with times, could not recommend enough!
