My hubby and I are big dog lovers who enjoy cuddle time and kisses...my boy loves to zoom and would enjoy having other friends to run around the house and backyard with and play! My husband is the animal whisperer, so your kids are within good hands! If you have a greyhound or whippet look no further! :) or most other breeds work fine too! We’ll treat your kids like family when they’re here! We normally have off the same days so we can tag team the animals. Richard either sleeps on the couch or the bed, depends on his mood! Having a fenced in yard works out very well so we can run around and enjoy the fresh air. Crates or dog beds would work best! Hope to help out!
