My wife and I have a fully secured 600sqm+ backyard, with both concrete and grass as well as an enclosed garage with doggy door. The heavenly part is that your dog will have a very friendly playmate Lilly (Labrador x German Shepard), COUNTLESS toys, a kiddy pool to splash around in, and massive large yard to run around on. In addition to this I take Lilly for a daily walk/run/swim around Edwards Lake which your dog will participate in. If you would like me to care for your pooch over the weekend, it's likely they will come along with us to the beach house for a change of scenery....
