We recently fenced in a joint yard between my and my neighbor's house so there's a huge yard for playtime. My dog, Obi, LOVES to play with dogs of all ages & sizes. His girlfriend, an adorable shepherd mix, lives next door and sometimes comes out to play too. Obi is super excited for the opportunity to meet new friends! We also have a park within walking distance of our house that has a fully enclosed baseball field that is used by the community for extra exercise. If your pup is full of energy, my husband likes to take Obi for runs or bike rides through the park when he gets home from his job as a high school teacher. If you furbaby is a bit shy, the downstairs separated from the upstairs by a gate passable by cats but not by dogs. The guest room is also available for those who like their privacy. As stated above, furbabies are family in my house so they are allowed up onto the couches & beds for optimum comfort. However, if you prefer your furbabies don't get onto furniture, we'll make sure they follow the rules you've set.
