I grew up with big dogs and have always been a dog lover. Right now I simply travel too much for work and would feel far too guilty owning a dog, but when I’m not traveling I work from home and have lots of love to give! I’m also new to Baltimore and would love to befriend some local dog owners so that when I do get a puppy I have a great community already :) I understand all dogs are different and I will gladly follow your lead (and the pups!) in terms of what they are comfortable with. I don’t have a yard but am happy to go on as many walks per day as needed. Shedding/drool is not a problem, just part of the process ;)
