My name is Ricky!

My wife and I adopted Ricky from a family friend. Dad is a purebred border collie, and Mom is a purebred American pitbull. We were looking for a younger friend for our one dog to keep her active. After having two kids (a 2-year-old daughter and a 2-month-old son), making sure Ricky gets time to play and keeping up with cleaning has become too much for us. Ricky is a very loving dog and loves to play. He needs playtime and affection, but our children are not big enough to play with him. He doesn't know his own size and thinks that everybody loves "kisses." Which doesn't work well with a toddler and an infant. It's really hard for us to ask for someone to adopt him because he has been such a great pet, but we worry for the safety of our children due to his size and lack of knowing how big he is. He likes to play rough and needs a home where he has space to run around and play with other animals. He has never nipped or bit at our children or other people. Willing to pay to re-home.
