The barking, lack of exercise, lack of sun, their paws on blazing hot sidewalks and pavement, only able to go outside a coupe of times a day to quickly go the bathroom (often after holding it in for a hours), and the poop and pee they leave everywhere in the city or on everyone else's small front yard.

The kids slept on air mattresses in the living room. Our Golden was so happy. He loved everyone being in the same room, long walks with new things to see and being in a smaller space.
