We have had our lovely whippet Pipa for almost 13 years now and occasionally look after friends and neighbours dogs while they go on holidays. We are a family of three, with 14 year old daughter. Between us we give all pets plenty of cuddles and love. We have big field close by where we walk our dog twice a day and big fenced garden at the back of the house too. We don't sleep with our dog but she and all guest pets are allowed on the sofas and beds, with lots of blankets to cuddle in.
