I have had dogs all of my life, almost dog like. They need to love, and be loved. Dogs want to be part of a pack, they also want to know their place on the hierarchy, yet they are selfless, will give themselves to you, or will give themselves, their lives for you at most anytime. Dogs are a gift, a gift of love, sacrifice, honor, loyal, courage, and kindness. Dogs are color blind, and at the same time can see into your soul almost like Santa Clause, knowing if you are naughty or nice. I have one 12 year old mostly blind mellow 9 pound female dog at home. I have lived at my dog friendly complex for 4 years. The next door park is 1 minute walk away. Wilsonville dog park is 1 mile away.
