I do have 2 dogs (1 Beagle and 1 Husky) I love them without reason. They're my family, I always walk them every morning and night also let them play in our yard when I am at home. I let them stay in the yard as long as they want to and clean their feet before get inside home because I do not want them to get germs in their feet. I always taking them out for the weekend to meet their friends (the other dogs 1 Golden and 1 Beagle half German Shepherd) at my cousin house and not far from our house. they enjoys running with my roommate also (only husky not beagle because he's 12 years old) Old dog should keep an eye on them because they like a human.
