I have had family dogs for 20plus years. We had a shin-zu and a German Shepard, they both were very spoiled! I love to spend quality time w them;; play fetch; definitley love the long walks; massage them and just hang out. The dog parks and the social interaction are great fun (some play time w friends). I believe a good healthy diet is a must and treats! Dog-Lover!!! Once we moved to Los Angeles, we got very busy with work and plan on adding a puppy member to our family until we work less to spend quality time with him/her. Meanwhile we visit family/friends with four- legged members and we love spending time with them and bring them home to help with babysitting. 💕
