I have 2 healthy seniors, 1 I run with the other doesn't care to run anymore, so we walk :) I have had many foster pups for a local rescue, some need recoup for a bit and others need a soft bed until they find their home. We walk at least 3 times a day. Brushing as needed, treats when returning from walks and pet beds all over the house, however, I am ok with them snuggling on the couch or laying on my bed. Both of my dogs are kept UTD on shots & preventative care, you won't have to worry about your special pup. I treat the extra guests in my home as one of my own. If I could, I would have more!
