Your dog will be priority number one. If your dog is happy they will make sure you are happy. I feel a dog needs lots of attention and playtime to remain a faithful companion. I have had dogs my entire life and do not feel fulfilled without a dog as part of my family. Not sure what it is about dogs, but I feel most of them feel very comfortable around me. There is a special connection I have in the presence of dogs and you will see that when I first meet your dog. I am available most of the days throughout the week and am in fairly good shape so I will be able to keep up with your dog. Our time together will be constant activity so the dog gets his excercise and is tired from my visits.
