I am a wife and mother of two grown children. We have two dogs and a tortoise living in our home. I love animals. We had 3 dogs at one time, unfortunately out other Doxie passed about 4 years ago. We have a nice big back yard. I like to keep the dogs active talking walk, swimming, playing in the yard/house. I also like to snuggle with them and just chill. We have lots of toys for the pups to play with. I would also allow cats into the home as I have a few small toys that I keep available for the family pets that visit. I would prefer a puppy to be potty trained but am willing to help out if that is something the pup has not mastered.
