I am generally home on the weekends and enjoy having dogs around. I am experiencing a canine empty nest syndrome of sorts... Pete the Puggle King was lost to sudden illness awhile back and Tina Louise, the beagle, is mostly with my sons at their other parent. I'm not quite ready to take on another dog of my own but I miss the playfulness, walking and companionship of a dog on the weekends... so playing with and caring for someone else's dog is the next best thing! They are great company and if I can help someone's dog from being left alone and provide some companionship that's awesome. From the cameras it always seemed my dogs were happy at the bow wow camp type places. They love being around other dogs but I was always concerned about whether they got enough individual attention. During the week I generally work outside the home; I'm happy to try and help out but the dog would have a significant chunk of the day alone.
