I've had dogs & been around dogs my whole life. I cannot imagine my life without them! I've spent time volunteering in shelters. I currently have a lab/box mix & a lab/pointer mix, along with a one year old son! So I always say I have 3 kids! I believe it is important that dogs are shown affection and love. It is important that they get the appropriate amount of time cared for them. My schedule is pretty flexible. I completely understand how it feels to leave on of your kids (pups) with someone new, that's why I think it is important to do a Meet-and-Greet with each pup so make sure they feel comfortable, just as you would with a child. I am also willing to bathe dogs.
