My husband and I are all about love for animals. We have a happy 3 year old dog named Geronimo who loves to make friends and run and run and run. He is not aggressive towards food or toys - though he will eat whatever food is out. We also have a cat who doesn't usually mind dogs, but if she's bothered, she will hide upstairs. There has always been a dog in my home, but it was only in the last 4 years that we have lived in a city environment requiring leashes and regular walks. I am familiar with a variety of habits, and I know how to approach most situations. When home, our back yard is open for running and playing! If it is rainy, we will walk the dog(s) and make sure they are getting some exercise, then we'll play with an assortment of toys inside. We also have a very mobile 1 year old. He loves animals, but hasn’t quite learned that they won’t all tolerate his use of them as a jungle gym. You just need to let us know how your pupper will do and we will adjust accordingly!
