About: We have raised 4 dogs of our own from puppies (two of which who have passed away from old age) and have experience with special needs. We have bottle fed one puppy. One of our current dogs is deaf and partially blind, so we are used to that as well. Several dogs that have stayed with us over the years have severe anxiety, so we are used to that as well. Ken works from home, so is available to let anyone out for potty breaks or playtime in the yard. We also live three houses up from the greenway, which is a great place for walks and runs. There is a little creek to get in for when it is really hot! With three teenagers in the house, there will be plenty of people to fight over who gets to snuggle and sleep with them when it's time for that! We have a fenced-in yard and will treat your baby just like ours! We have used all kinds of leashes, harnesses, easy-leaders, so we should be familiar with whatever system you have in place and will follow whatever schedule you have! None of our dogs currently use a crate, but we still have one of ours and are used to crate training.
