I have always had dogs and cats in my life. Not only will your fur baby get the exercise they need, but they will also have the opportunity to have another dog friend on the walk if your dog gets along with other dogs! I have a beautiful golden retriever named Callie a mix named Athena, and I have 4 cats. 3 gingers Mushu (aka Moomoo) Monster and Yue and I have a black and white named Mystery. 4 cats seems like a lot but they all do their own thing and it doesn’t feel like I have this many animals.l and they get along great with my daughter who is 16 months. Being around Animals is not new territory for me, I grew up with a shelty, pitbull and golden doodle. Have your dog come join the family and get outdoors while their at it. =)
