I've had cats, and dogs live in the same household. We currently have 1 puppy and love her with all of our hearts. They make us happy so we do anything to make them happy. I love to go on hikes and long walks. Most of our pets are kept indoors overnight and in days thatbare hot to enjoy our central a.c. We enjoy hanging out and eat healthy so our dogs have to be healthy as well. We try to comply with the dogs needs and make sure thet are comfortable. Even if it makes us uncomfortable. Dogs are wonderful and we enjoy the company they provide us, so it would be a privilege to have a few extra family friends to host. Thanks
