I have 8 dogs back home in the Philippines,my mom is taking care of them for now,until I’ll be able to move them here. They are my first children, I treat them like my babies, every dog is like that to me. They will feel super loved , i bathe them, clean their ears,brush teeth, I’m a very hands on fur mom, and mom to my 3 y/o daughter..your dog won’t feel estranged with me, they will have fun by playing in our yard,go for walks in our neighborhood or in a park near our house too. My sister-in-law’s dog lives with me now, he never felt loved and affection before until he met me. He wasn’t allowed to give a person a kiss/lick on the face , until he met me.
