I love them as if they're my own. I believe love is the best reassurance you can give your pets . Love them unconditionally just like they love us ! My dogs are the happiest dogs in this planet. I walked my dogs daily plus they have a fenced yard to play in with all their relatives. I spoil my dogs with treats , kisses and lots of petting. Dogs just want to have fun and that's what we do at my house fun all day. The only problem is the dogs sometimes want to stay which is okay for the longer over nighters. Let's see if we are all a match. We haven't had a problem yet and I don't see any on the horizon. My house is their house!
