I have two great dogs and I love them to pieces. They get along with other dogs very well. My puppy is crate training right now and can bay all night so we are no stranger to puppies. My husband is a teacher and I have a job with normal bankers hours near by. We take the puppy out in the morning, at lunch, and multiple times after work. Our older dog prefers to be outside so we have made it as comfortable as possible for her. Our backyard is large, fully fenced and reinforced. There is a covered porch with a box fan going and large bowl of water. Every night we do a few laps around the neighborhood and then work on training. We end the night with belly rubs and treats. The weekends are especially fun. We go to the dog park or the market. Whatever allows animals we are up for. I know your fur babies will have fun. We love dogs too much for them not to!
