I had a dog for 10 years as a father, husband and he was part of our family. The kids adored him, he was my partner in crime, and it's going on a year since he went to doggy heaven. We recently watched a dog for a family friend and our family loved it. We have a large yard and two kids that like to give a lot of attention. Nothing short of making sure your dog is comfortable and respected. Large house, neighborhood to walk around in, but most importantly a kind and passionate family. We like to play in the yard with toys, and will have the same expectations from our previous dog. I am looking forward to helping so when you are away, you will have confidence that your pup is in good hands.
