I've owned many dogs over the years and grew up with furry family members too. My wife and I will treat your pooch as my own and give her/him whatever he needs as per his puppy parent specifications. I'd love to spend time with your furry friend. I am happy to run or walk on the miles of trails near my house in Mount Rainier or drop in for a visit near my work in Arlington, Virginia. Our house is on two floors and has a large fenced yard with squirrels and birds for extra stimulation so your puppy will never be bored. There is a dog park near by if that's your dog's thing. I know how nerve racking being away from your pooch can be so I'll provide you with regular updates.
