I miss " my" 3 dogs who moved to Florida! 3 brothers, 2 shitzus and a havanese. We became famous for taking for a 2 mile walk everyday at the same time on the same few streets for over 4 years. In fall and winter they all wore matching sweaters. My ideal is a steady, regular schedule. My guess is that your friend feels the same way. I will truly treat your dog as my own since I am unable to afford a dog myself. I have had a dog/ house sitting job for over 6 years with one employer, being available whenever he traveled. He also moved to Florida 2 years ago but still summers in Connecticut. I adore his beautiful dogs, Sheba Enus! I wrote some books about "my" 3 boys and would be pleased to share them you.
