Dogs really are the greatest. I have two, very friendly, dogs that love to play and be social. We are very active and are always looking to have fun. Being outside is the main objective. When we’re not out and about, we are usually hanging out on the couch or destroying squeak toys. I am pretty liberal with the treats when they perform commands, but not to the point of blowing their diets. In cold weather, our dogs love their sweaters. Our Beagle especially likes being warm and is often found, snuggled with my wife, under a blanket. Don’t worry, we have plenty of blankets for everyone. Our only “downside” is that my wife and I both work full time. With our staggered schedules our dogs spend a little less than 8 hours crated.
