I am a small dog owner and love him to pieces! We will love your dog as much as we love ours :) my daughters love dogs as well and we love to snuggle and take the best care of dogs. our Shicon will welcome your dog into our home. We look forward to watching your dog while you are away. Sammy is our dog he is 3 and weighs 14 pounds and loves to be with his people as much as we love to be with him. He has tons of toys to play throughout the day. So bring your toys, your food, and your bowl if you want and we can hang out and play all day! My house is great! Come soon!
