I live in a residential area in east Urbana with decent size fenced in yard (4 foot high fence). I have a dog part of the time (a yellow lab / German Shepherd mix mutt). I also have my 18 month old son part of the time (who loves dogs). I'm able to host dogs any time, but I may need a larger lead time if I'll have my dog or son. I enjoy playing, walking, and general belly scratches with any type of dog. I have a basement that is off-limits except when I'm with the dog, as there's a few too many hazards down there (I do woodworking as a hobby). During the day, I am fine leaving dogs outside or inside (I'll shut a few bedroom doors) if they are not crate trained. I have a few dog toys, but probably best to bring your own. My dog, for whatever reason, is pretty ambivalent towards toys.
