I’ve own dogs, and cats before and have also helped taken care of family dogs in the past. I’ve had a Bichon Frise and a Golden retriever but sadly because I moved to Colorado I couldn’t keep them. But, I now have a wonderful mix Labrador male dog (named Piggy) who is special to mi heart. I love dogs overall...I considered them a big part of my life because they are great companions and of course they are men best friend! Piggy (my dog) is a charming, friendly well trained dog, so no worries your dog would be safe and have someone to play with all the time. I also love going for walks so I have no problem taking your dog for a walk as well.
