I never got to have a dog as a kid, and living on a boat keeps me from having my own. So I've thrown all my dog-loving passion into the various niece and nephew dogs I've loved over many years - you can see a few of them in my profile. My friends trust me to care for their dogs like they were my own, which has given me some amazing adventures, being with these beloved creatures, including travel, beach time, long walks. I've been entrusted to take dogs on long trips, hundreds of miles, lengthy stays with my friends' dogs. Each time I'm caring for my dog friends, I live a little of my childhood dream of having my own. Your dog would not be on better hands because I will love them as my own.
