We are Leslie and Gareth. We have been dog people our whole lives. We live with our human son and our fur son Murray in an 1800 sq ft one story home in Dunedin, FL. Your dog can expect lots of love and rubs if he/she is up for it. Murray can be on the timid side so we are also accustomed to dogs who prefer to be alone in new circumstances. Our neighborhood is convenient to Countryside, Palm Harbor, Dunedin and Clearwater. I have always had a dog in my home growing up. We adopted Murray when he was 6 months old and he very quickly became part of our family. I worked with him on puppy issues, like chewing and understanding the pecking order. I was on the ASPCA website daily looking for tips and suggestions. As a result, we have a well-behaved boy who is comfortable in his place in our family and brings a lot of joy and love into our home. Our backyard is approximately 1000 sq ft and is completely fenced in. The fence on the side is 4' picket and the fence at the back is 8' privacy fence (like stockade but fancier). It is flat and covered in grass with three trees and flower beds. We have a bird feeder that attracts birds and squirrels. I don't want the squirrels there so the dogs are free to chase them away to their heart's content!
