I have owned two Shih Tzu's for about 6 years now but I love any kind of dog, big or small! Will provide pets and cuddles all day and keep your dog happy and healthy. One of my dogs, Mila, lives in Orlando with me (the other one is back home with my parents) but she is the sweetest and sleeps all day. If your dog is on a strict schedule, I am more than happy to follow it so that both of you can relax and have a great experience. My apartment community also has a large, fenced-in grass patch that your dog can run around in til their little heart desires. I am a huge dog-lover and will happily conform to any of your needs.
