I've had dogs all my life and love them. Currently home for the summer from University. I have 4 children and a puppy. My 3 boys are older, my daughter is 4. They are used to dogs as well. Looking for something to do during the day that allows me to be home for my daughter after school and still get my dog out for daily walks. I have a yard, not fenced but spacious and I take my dog to the dog park by Westridge and scout valley almost daily. I can take any dog day or night provided they are hood with children and other dogs.
