I have a lot of patience. Willing to let dog sit in my lap. Because I am 62 years old I am mature enough to spend time with dog. Because I don't work, I can spend more time with dog. I already have 2 outside dogs not allowed in the house except for real bad or extra cold or hot weather. I prefer only 1 dog so he or she can get all the attention. You need to know I am in a wheelchair because I have no legs. But I can handle a small dog. I drive so I am willing to take your dog to the local park for exercise. If you come to my house to see my living arrangements, I think you will be comfortable with me watching your dog.
