I have owned dogs for over 33 years. I was told six years ago that my paralyzed dog wouldn't make it past year and so far she is a miracle because she has been with us for six years with her injury. She needs diaper changing and special care but she is a very happy content dog. Since I have a 14-year-old I am home alot with my two dogs, my cat, and my son. I'm a chiropractor and I work by appointment two blocks away from home. Since I just began my chiropractic business I am available so much during the day that this seemed like a great fit. We have a ranch house with a fenced in backyard that is literally my doggy daycare. Our household is peaceful and enjoyable. Your dog love it here .
