I have owned 3 dogs in my lifetime and they were all extremely sweet and loyal. I have always loved dogs and would treat yours the way I treat my current 7 year old chocolate labrador. I will promise that I will always be availabe for your 4 legged friend. I am a big guy and have no problem running with them or playing ball with them in your yard. I will make sure they get the attention and exercise they need! My first dog Molly was a black labrador that I owned from the ages of 9 to 22. She was well-taken care of and had a great life. She is still missed. My current dog Walter is a big bundle of high energy, so I definitely have the experience handling that sort of thing if your dog also has high energy. You can feel comfortable leaving your dog in my loving hands.
