I have a large fenced in yard and an inground pool. My wife is also home 4 days a week. My work shcedule is verry flexible. I have had at least 2 dogs at a time for the past 20 years. My dogs are 2 Labs and are very friendly. My house is fully air conditioned in the summer time. The dogs are free to swim in the pool and run in the backyard all they want. If it's hot outside I will leave them in the house in the air conditioning so that they stay cool and hydrated. We play ball with the dogs and they are always fed and have plenty of water on hand to make sure that they are always well fed.
