I had a dog that was born deaf and learned to love and care for him hand and foot. I adore dogs. I have a fenced backyard where I could run around and play catch with them. Belly rubs are the best. Several toys to play with. I love long walks at night before bed time. I have several blankets so they could lay on for a more comfortable sleep. Bath time is one of my favorite things to do. When they behave good I love to reward them with treats. Always make sure they have plenty of food and water at all times. I don't mind having the dog sleep with me on my bed. Dogs are allowed to lay on the couch at all times.
