At 58 years old I adopted two Pitbull mix rescue dogs. They are messy, loud and I love them.
The back yard has been modified to make it more pleasant for them and me. On hot days they cool off in the pool! It's worth the loss of some grass and the time taken to clean up after them. They are the most loving creatures. One is the protector of the house and the other is happy to do anything.
They like to hike and chase anything that moves... except other hikers. They are ignored...
Sleeping is their #1 hobby! The pool is at times a source of frustration but they love it on a hot day.
