I am the guilty subject in my family so in my opinion, I have no right to complain when it comes to taking care of my three. It was my big idea to bring them in our family.

Not that I'd complain and I don't find it stressful. Didn't know it was possible.
i too brought every one of my animals home. they are all my resposability. i also don't find it stressful. if anything i find it relaxing. my dogs are literally my best friends and i love spending every minute with them.

look at walking the dogs in hot weather i super workout. if there is a lake,pond, or pool around take the dogs swimming. Gracie loves swimmin in the lake at the park. do you have space for a tredmil? it doesn't have to be a dog tredmil either. my dad bought me a tredmil for like $100 a few weeks ago. Gracie walks on it every day. she gets a good workout without the nasty hot weather.
