I have always had dogs growing up and love my current dogs dearly. My three only get the best and yes I do call my dogs my babies! I walk my dogs every day with treats to follow! Also they take trips to the dog park to visit and socialize with other dogs on the weekends.Needless to say I spoil my dogs rotten. I actually have had five dogs in my house a dozen of times. Due to dog sitting my friends two and my three! I enjoyed every moment of it and can't wait to do it again! Let me spoil and love your dog while your away, I'll be sure to send pictures and am open to face time calls as well!
