Our 1928 Spanish style house is in historic Curtis Park, a super-freindly neighborhood near midtown, central city. Our one-and-a-half year old Golden Retriever loves company, appreciates all the compainionship she can get, is somtimes rambuctous (puppy stuff) but always loving. She needs 1-2 walks per day, and visiting the nearby dog park a few times a week would a great bonus. The house and yard are mainly self-sufficient, but keeping an eye out in case any plants get dry is helpful.
