I have never met a dog i didn't like, or that didn't like me. We are home most of the time so the dogs have constant company. We have a large fenced yard with locked gates and we go out with our dogs to play or romp or just sit in the sun. I am looking forward to having your fur baby for a time. I am fine with big boys and girls. I can deal with special diets and often cook and bake for my dogs.
