We lost our beloved beagle, Spot, ten years ago, and were reluctant to bring another dog into our lives. Our children are growing, and my husband is now retired (I still have a few years left), but we didn't want to make the long-term commitment of bringing another member into the family. But the truth of the matter is, we miss having a dog around... We have Kitty, who is lovely, but doesn't like to go for long walks. She's not very good at fetching, and if the truth be told, she's not much of a cuddler. We miss having a dog, and would love to share our home with yours. We can promise your pooch will get lots walking. If he's up to it, we have a runner in the house who loves company. There is an off-leash park nearby for socializing with other dogs and a 13 year old boy who'd like nothing more than to wake up to a furry friend licking his face! Ours is a quiet, residential neighbourhood with lots of doggy friends close-by. We have a large yard with space for romping and rollicking and your dog would be loved and cared for as if he were our own.
