I have owned dogs for over 25 years and love having them. I have trained them, shown them in dog shows, and taken care of them as if they were my children. We don't have a dog at the moment and we want to be able to shower our love on other's dogs. I have two sons, 13 and 18, and they adore dogs and would spend lots of time with them, walk them, play with them. I stay at home so will be around to play with your dog and make sure they are well taken care of. Your dog will become part of our family. We would go for walks during the day, play in the yard, and do lots of snuggling. We pet sit for dogs, as well, and love to have other dogs around the house. We have a third of an acre of yard and a large house with lots of places for your dog to explore, and we live backing to woods, so there are lots of "critters" for your dog to watch. I would welcome knowing what your dog likes to do, what their routine is, and their temperament.
