Many of my friends have dogs along with myself, and I love them all! We have birthday parties and events for them all of the time. I truly can't imagine my life without a dog. Since literally the day I was born I've been surrounded by fur babies. My dog is very special to me so I understand how some become very spoiled. I enjoy keeping up with special rituals like a treat before you go and many others, just let me know! Snuggles are a must! (Unless they just are not into that) and we have a king size bed for our visitors! I have been known to be called "the dog whisperer" but my friends call me Gayle! :) looking forward to keeping your dog out of the scary kennel and into our loving home!
