I took very good care of my golden retriever Scout he lived to almost 16 yrs old. I am a true dog lover and will treat your dog as if it were my own. Not sure if there is a dog park in the Litchfield area if so that would be a safe option for the dog to run and fetch. We have a cabin on lake if your dog is a swimmer, also 5 acres for the dog to explore. I have never met a dog I didn't like and it vice versa. Friends that have dogs always tell me that I definitely have a way with dogs. so if you are looking for a mature responsible ex dog owner than give me a call.
