I am an owner of 3 1/2 puppies. My daughter takes claim to one of my babies but in my heart, she will always be mine. Puppies at my house always gets special treatment. Treatment of my own puppies are so good, I can leave them in the front yard all day and they won't run or wonder off. They know they have it good here. They get treats at all times of the day, have unlimited access to the backyard through the doggie door at all times so they can chase the birds, burn off energy, or just sun bathe. When I'm not at home, they either have the TV to watch or I have the radio playing for them. I bring my dogs almost everywhere I go. If my dogs aren't welcome, then I'm not welcome. They are my family. I have plenty of toys & plenty of room for them to run around. I don't like putting dogs in cages unless it is absolutely necessary. If possible, I bring them to the doggie park so they can meet & play with friends. They get to run around & burn off the built up energy.
