Before I care for your dog, I'd like to understand his/her temperament, preferences, idiosyncrasies, etc. What is your dog's typical routine? What does your dog love to do? What activities/behaviors doesn't your dog like? Does your dog have fears? Does he enjoy people/other dogs? Do you consider your dog well-behaved? Are there behaviors/habits you are trying to help your dog improve upon? The more I understand about your dog, the better I can care for him/her.

We'll walk first thing in the morning to get outside and get a bit of exercise. We'll have breakfast on the porch while we watch the birds, squirrels and neighbors. Our afternoon walk (or run) may take us to Meadowbrook Park or another fun park that involves a car ride. On a nice afternoon, we may hang out in the backyard and garden and chase balls or play with toys. And hanging out on the couch together in the evening while I read is a lovely way to wind down before bed. We may even add an evening walk into our day if we haven't already had enough exercise.
