Dogs have been members of my family since I moved out on my own as a college student. Almost everything we do as a family includes our furry family members, and our vacations always include our buddies. I'm a teacher and so have to be pretty responsible and caring. Both my adult son and I work together to keep our pups happy, and one of us is usually home to provide the care they need. My own dogs are friendly and have never even had any problems with any other dogs in a large apartment complex community. In fact, we watch many of our neighbors' dogs frequently, so our Alfred and Suzie are both used to having visitors in our large, over 1000 square foot apartment.
