Pretty wide open minus the daily logistics of having a toddler. I have animal chores I do before the rest of the house is awake and after everyone goes to bed. We have 110 acres and I enjoy walking our 3 dogs before or after the heat of the day. My dogs can be away if/when we host another one here if that is preferred. I also have a dog door to a very large fenced yard if the dog is good with dog doors, otherwise regular breaks outside or cool AC to hang out in.
