I am a stay at home mom to a toddler. I am home most of time. We have a huge fenced in backyard we often play in. Me and my little mutt, Ella May and so Franco like to go to different dog parks during the week or go hiking/exploring. Although I have a weenie dog I love big dogs as well. Dogs are welcome on furniture and bed. We are easy going family. We also have a cat that gets along with our dog. We go on at least two walks, morning and evening. Trying to avoid hottest times of day. My son is good with dogs of all sizes but your furry friend should be toddler friendly as my son likes to interact with dogs.
