I have had dogs in my life for over 20 years. I had 2 Boxers for 15 years. Had 2 sets of puppies. I have dealt with one of my dogs having seizures & having to administer medication. So I have had my share of experience with animals. I also have 2 Ball Pythons, that i have had for the last 12 years. And now I have taking in my moms dog which is 7yrs old 10pds Bichon named Bentley. Never had a little dog till now, but i now see a role for them in my life. With all that we are both outgoing and loving. We play inside the house as well as outside. There is lots of play room to run in the house. Fun house.
