Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I have a 4 year old son and a 3 year old daughter. We also have two small dogs. We got one for my son and he didn’t want to share with our daughter, so my husband went and bought her a dog too. We are happy with our little family but we are consumed with household chores and taking care of our children and pets. I work out after work so my husband takes the children and the dogs to the park down from our house.....................................
