My husband and I love dogs and have been dog owners for years. We have two dogs: Lola (7 year old female Poodle) and Maya (4 year old female Labrador Retriever mix). Lola and Maya are very friendly. Maya is very energetic and playful with other dogs. She loves having company. We have a big backyard that is completely fenced off for your dog to enjoy. Our dogs are mainly inside where they have access to air conditioning all the time. They sleep in our room. We play with them outside and give walks on a daily basis. Dogs are let out frequently throughout the day for potty breaks and exercise. They are allowed on the furniture. They will be treated as part of the family.
