I have owned dogs all my life as well as other pets. I love dogs of all kinds. I have owned mostly big dogs but I like all breeds. We currently have two black lab mixes named Lola and Cosette. Our dogs are part of the family. They do not sleep in our bed but they sleep on blankets next to our bed. They are inside most of the time. We do not feed them people food but they sometimes sneak it when the kids leave something on the table. They are very sweet, mild tempered, and enjoy other dogs. We live in a quiet neighborhood on top of a hill. We do not have a fenced in yard but there is a dog park down the street. I have experience dog sitting for family and friends.
