I am a licensed veterinarian. I am a surgical intern at specialty hospital. I have one yellow lab, a sweet and friendly pitbull, and a lab mix. The lab mix is nervous at first but quickly warms up to new people and dogs. They all love hiking, swimming and walks. We always have plenty of toys and our dogs like to play tug. Our house is very spacious. I have a long dog background, having had dogs my whole life. Most of them were labs but also a couple small dog breeds. My girlfriend living with me is also a veterinarian. You are welcome to bring whatever toys and beds for your dog if it is staying over. PLEASE bring a dog crate for when we are not home and have your dog(s) house trained.
