I have rescued 2 dogs myself as well as 1 for my parents and 1 for my sister in California. I do everything with my dogs, and I really enjoy the dog park or dog beach every weekend. Although I do work a traditional 9-5, I come home every lunch break to my dogs and my husband actually doesn't leave for work until after me, so we aren't even gone for the full day. Neither of us work on weekends so we are home all day/night. I have crate/potty trained both my dogs in less than 2 months so that I was able to keep them out of their crates for good. My husband and I chose the house we live in now because there is a tall, fenced in yard so the dogs can run and play whenever they want while we are home with them. I have watched friends dogs numerous times and my dogs just love having extra company-they get along with everyone. If you look in my profile, you can see pictures of both Newton (boy) and Peach (girl). I also eventually want to start my own doggie daycare, and this is where I would love to start.
