I have had a dog since I was 5 years old and spent 5 years working for a small animal vet. I have always had multiple dog around me and your dog would quickly be added as a member of the family. I am willing to take long walks and also have access to a fenced in area to throw the ball and play. Your dog would also always have the companionship of my dog Bowen who is a 3 year old Lab/Poodle/Husky Mix! The household operates on a consistent routine of walks in the morning around 7am, walks at lunch time, a walk in the evening around 5:30 as a walk before bed at 10pm. Additional walks and time outside can be easily added if necessary.
