Hi. I have had dogs all my life,,, never bought always someone gave to me or adopted,, the biggest lost in my life was my precious Sheldon, who I found in a shelter and he was an older dog but I didn,t care,, he went blind, heart problems. Now his little brother is going blind--Gizmo. Never dealt with blind dogs but this time Giz may have a chance to have them removed. So I've taken care of blind dogs. I have nice yard. But all my dogs always went for walks,, also. I was never into cats but felt so sorry for all out there on street ---I now have one female who stays in house, and two males (all fixed) that stay in enclosed porch but come into house for visit , one actually stays on leash and sits in his chair in yard,, I have been a dog lover all my life,,,!! Gizmo loves his stuff animals. At least fifty. He also loves his busy bones. Loves to sit in sun in backyard when weather is nice. He always goes for three walks a day!, but. Anyone staying must be kind, gentle and friendly!,
