I had a cat for 7 years, my cat, Friday, who was a spaz and I'm pretty sure he was a dog on the inside. I got my dog, Kevin, 3 years ago. He is a pretty crazy Boxer who needs constant exercise in walks or play and demands my attention with his personality. I have moved to college though and don't see him very often anymore. I have no issue taking care of energetic dogs. Because Kevin is an energetic dog, I understand how it is difficult to interact with other dogs and people when it comes to other energetic dogs. I also had Kevin as a small puppy so I understand all the precautions to take with a young puppy. Lastly, I get how hard it is to be away from our pups and I will do everything to make this easy for both you and your dog.
