I have had a dog in my life since the day I was born 42 years ago. The dogs in my family have always been, and will continue to be, treated as part of the family. I have personally had 3 dogs, one in college and two since then. My first personal dog, Duke, lived to be 14 and spent time with me in South Carolina, Mississippi, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Ohio. We played all the time as he loved to chase his tennis ball and frisbee. My current dog is 7 years old and her name is Cameron and she loves to walk anywhere, the neighborhood, the dog park, or the beach. She is also great with other dogs of all sizes, big or small she loves em all. While your beloved animal is in my care they will be treated just like you would treat them and I'll follow your care instructions implicitly. Belly rubs will abound, and wagging tails will be the norm, they may not want me to leave or go home at the end of the day.
