My family adores dogs, we love on them. We enjoy walking with the dogs and seeing their different personalities. We also love seeing dogs with our dog she gets a long with any dog if they want to play she will play if they want to be left alone she seems to know. We have watched neighbors dogs, families dogs too. We will follow the instructions that you give I'm not sure if I had repeated that. When the dogs are at our house we get so used to them being in our family when they leave we really do miss them. It seems weird for a couple of days not to see where their crate was or hear them. We love taking pics of your pet too and I'll send them.
