The "Dog" that shares our life in my family is named Cole. Cole is a Cattle dog. Not a dog for beginers. I could write books on him. He was to be Joannas companion dog. Joanna stays at home most of the time due to MS ( PLEASE GIVE TO THE MS SOCIETY) Cole has days when he's happy to stay with her. Other days he'll DEMAND to go to work with me. Your dog needs to see the family it wants to be with. If you're not happy with that you need to groom your dog well so that it can be part of the family. Yes you will need to vacuum more as well as clean more.
I run a business. and a home due to my wife not being able to mop, vacuum, dust or clean much
