I have had dogs since a child and when I was raising my family of 5 we always had 2 dogs. I lived in a snowy state but that didn't stop a good walk and fresh air, except during a blizzard. I know how to give medical attention/medication should it be needed. I love robust puppies who want to play to the older dogs who just want comfort. Dogs have amazing abilities to read people and they always come to me with their tails wagging. I am by no means a dog whisperer but I've never had any problems with any dogs. I do not sweat oops accidents, should there be any. Your loving family member will be safe, well cared for and loved beyond measure.
