Daisy spends about 80% of her time at our place. She actually lives a kilometre or so away. She can get to our house through the forest and never has to cross a road. She comes over as soon as she hears howling or any kind of ruckus. She comes on every walk, every bike ride, ect that I take. She ran behind the sled for hundreds of miles last winter.

Her owner is a nice enough guy, just kinda clueless about her needs. Physically she's well cared for. He feeds her good food & gets her vet care when she needs it. She goes home to sleep most nights and is allowed in the house. He would never hit her or physically abuse her. He just doesn't understand that she has emotional needs too. He used to have an underground fence for her. It worked until she figured out that there are other dogs nearby she can play with. Then she didnt' care if she got zapped. She's very social and has a high energy level. He has commented that since she started hanging out with us, she doesn't chew up stuff in his yard anymore.

Daisy is a bright dog and well mannered. She knows all the basic obedience commands and some sled commands. If she had a better coat, I'd put her in harness! She gets along with all my dogs, even Kayleigh tolerates her on walks. She's good when we run into other dogs on the trails, always comes when I call her. Most people thinks she's my 23rd dog. I say I have part-time custody of her. If she was a hassle, I'd complain more to him about her, but she's an easy dog and I enjoy having her around. I'm really part of the problem. I enable him to neglect her, but at least Daisy gets all her needs met between the two homes!
