For as long as I can remember my family has owned at least one dog. While I was growing up, our dogs were like part of our family. I got a Golden Retriever for my sixteenth birthday, and even though I was not able to bring her to UGA during my time here, we are still two peas in a pod whenever I go back home. I do miss the presence of a dog while I am still at school, and would love the opportunity to spend some time with your pup while you are away. My schedule is generally flexible. I am a student and also have a part time job with semi-flexible hours. I live in a house in a quaint neighborhood with a front and back yard. There are no other pets at our home.
