I have had a number of pets in my life and I know when a dog wants to play and when it just wants its ears scratched. As a recent retiree, I can provide the time and effort to personalize the time spent with your puppy. As an outdoor enthusiast, I will spend as much time out of the house as I can and not just sit around the house watching TV or playing video games. The time I spend with your puppy will be quality time. Whether it is a long leisurely stroll or a brisk run, your puppy will love going on walks with me. And did I mention that studies have found dogs react better to smiles and that I smile a lot
