I have had dogs my whole life! I encourage them to come cuddle on the sofa or sleep in my bed if they want too! I enjoy playing with them in the yard or the littler ones in the house. I have a 5 year old little boy who is always willing to help and he stops all of our neighbors to pet their dogs as they walk by. I am at home most always so your doggies would always have someone there to love on them or take them out.
