I am home most of the time except when I have class for a few hours a day. I own an 11 month Siberian husky and I will take the dogs swimming, hiking or to the dog park everyday. My husky is very dog friendly and I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a golden retriever and an Australian Shepard so I am used to taking care of larger dogs. My dog sleeps on the furniture and is allowed on my bed and is treated as a member of the family. I do not have a fenced in yard but I take the dogs out on adventures everyday to get their energy out as well as many potty walks.
