Update: my oldest son's family is temporarily staying on our property in their RV. They have two dogs and two children. However when other dogs are staying with us we keep their dogs and children separate and away. I have had dogs all my life except for the last year and so has my husband. Our last dog passed away last year and we are too heartbroken to try again at the moment. He was a Mastiff, Great Dane, Shepherd mix and was 150 pounds but was the sweetest dog either of us had ever had. We have watched dogs for other people during the last year to help us get our "dog fix". Someone is home most of the time in our family. My husband works form home and we have two college age sons who are in the home. We have lots of room inside and out. We enjoy all of our furry friends and they will receive lots of love and affection.
