I live in an extremely dog friendly complex bordering Buffalo Bayou. I share my apartment with my fiancé (who also works from home) and our two dogs in a great sized two bedroom unit with a balcony. Due to being in an apartment, I can guarantee your pet will not be able to escape or access anything we don't want them to. I have an XXL crate as well that can be used per your request. My entire apartment is dog/puppy proof, so there are no areas inside of my unit that are off limits. I personally have two very friendly 2 year old dogs under 25lbs to keep your pet company. My Miniature Dachshund is a lazy potato, and my Jack Russel Terrier is an independent athlete- so your pet will surely become fond of at least one of their personalities! They have many more toys than they need, many more beds than they need, and receive more than enough affection on top of that- so I am confident that your pet will be loved the way they need and want between the four of us. My dogs have access to a full water bowl at all times, as I always want them to stay hydrated. I serve them a specific Science Diet hydrated kibble that I top with olive oil and mix with boiled carrots, celery, or unseasoned chicken. Every other morning they receive a dental chew, and throughout the week I will give them organic salmon treats as well as the occasional bully stick. My Jack Russell Terrier also has to take medication every morning for allergies, so I am very familiar with administering a variety of medications at specific times. My dogs go outside for short walks and potty breaks a combined 4 times throughout the day. I also give my pets an indoor alternative with training pads that is always available to them in the spare bathroom. Once I am done with work, I take my dogs outside for several hours. Sometimes I will walk them a few miles along the bayou, but most of the time I will take them to the dog park. The one that is closest to me is Johnny Steele Dog Park, but the ones that I frequent the most are Millie Bush Dog Park, Tom Bass Dog Park, and Deputy Darren Dog Park. The last few are the ones I prefer because of their overall cleaner environments. A clean dog is a healthy dog, and a healthy dog is a happy dog! If we step foot outside, I always wipe down their paws with a fragrance free grooming wipe. My dogs also get bathed regularly (or on those really dirty days) with an oatmeal shampoo that is especially gentle on their skin. When their nails get long, I use a nail filer instead of a clipper because it makes them more comfortable. My Jack Russel Terrier also grows a good bit of hair in her face, so I do some light trimming for her as well. If you would like any of these things for your pet, I would be more than happy to do that for you! They are also both on Heartworm medication, as well as a monthly flea and tick.
