Hello everyone, Born in Michigan I was surrounded by nature, animals (especially dogs) my whole life. The youngest of 5 I was handed down every type of animal, reptile (from Michigan) etc that you can think of. My brother Mark even brought me home a Black widow from Oklahoma once lol. I work long house in the summer running a real estate company and then its slow during the slow season. I have a huge space 28 feet by 20 feet thats usually used as an office during the summer. I love my backyard and yes its enclosed and private. Besides being walked dogs are able to go to the bathroom out there anytime they please. Working from home gives me the time to take care of a dog etc. My neighbors dog "algebra"used to chill in the back yard and in side depending on the day. I'm looking to do that again. If you have a friendly dog who wants to be around somebody during the day then lets talk. : ) I live on 1st street between 1st and 2nd avenue (between the exits for the F train) All the best, Nicholas
