I've grown up with dogs my whole life, only type of pet we've ever owned. Owned my lab for about 5 years. I work part time 5am-12pm Monday - Friday so I'm available for most of the day to spend time with the dog. I'm a student at TCU studying Mechanical Engineering. I work the TCU campus Rec as the member services manager. Working part time gives me plenty of down time to spend with your dog! Our back yard has plenty of space to run around to chase squirrels or play fetch. Also we have a small plastic kid pool if your dog enjoys to play in the water. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have any concern. Thank you! -Cullen
