Dogs are not a luxury, they are a necessity. They increase our quality of life with every soulful glance, graceful (or goofy) run, and daily greeting. It is important that we repay the joy they give us with loving routines that keep them happy and healthy. I love to connect with every dog that I am able to approach. I love bond-building through talking/sound stimulation, playing fetch, a fast walk/jog, hugs, and a momentary rest under a tree, before we do it all again. I have experience owning 2 dogs at a time as an adult, and I grew up with a wonderful dog as well. The four-legged love of your life will be well taken care of with patience and undivided attention (I am not a cell-phone talker walker). Your dog is probably 100% happy with you and your family. I would like to add that extra 10% or more when you are not around.
