Dogs are part of the family & I would treat them as mine. I don't have kids because my dogs are my kiddos. They are a part of my life - not an after-thought. Dogs will be inside & have personal attention. We go outside with dogs for all potty breaks. I have fostered for local rescues & my personal dogs are great at showing new dogs the ropes of the house. Your dog will sit on the couch with us while hanging out & watching TV. I give bottled water b/c it is filtered & better for them. Plenty of play time & dogs to play with. Your dog will be loved and pampered - they won't want to leave. Looking forward to meeting your dog!
