My daughter has three rescue dogs and she visits us for a week at a time with three dogs. I handle one of her largest, golden retriever, when we go on walks. We have a nice area to walk with a bike path off the roads, also we are in a quiet neighborhood where we walk also. Love petting dogs and looking into their eyes that are so loving. I just really love being with a dog. I did have a black cat for 23 years, and she was a regal cat that wasn't that affectionate but we loved when she gave us permission to love her. I think being with a pet is relaxing and we get so much more from them. I love to play ball with our other daughter's border collies, Linus and Lucy, they have so much energy. We have had them stay with us for up to 10 days. We are always sad we they have to go home. My husband and I are retired so we are here most of the time and are looking for dogs to love on.
