I have a very flexible work schedule. I can be home multiple times a day for potty breaks. I'm usually home by 3 in the afternoon so there is tons of time for playing. I have a huge backyard that is fully fenced. My boyfriend and I are very routine people and we love dogs of all sizes. We feed our dogs at the same time everyday. We frequently watch family members dogs when they are out of town. We have two older dogs but they still have tons of spunk and love to play. They are both really good around dogs they don't know and aren't bothered by younger pups with tons of energy. Cuddles and smooches are allowed without hesitation. We do not crate our dogs, but will crate dogs if needed. Our house has been dog proofed. When we aren't home they can't get into trouble.
