I have had dogs the last 20 years of my life. They are like my kids. My last 2 dogs lived to be 15, both Austrailan Shepards. Both the loves of my life, my kids. I have extensive experience with elderly dogs, giving medication, etc.. I now have a sweetheart of a puppy, Rosie, a golden retriever. She has a very sweet soul and loves to share her toys with any dog. I have a amazing enclosed back yard for them to play in or just enjoy relaxing inside. I also live in a beautiful neighborhood, perfect for walking and exploring. Whatever your dog wants, is what he or she will get. Exercise, or just hanging out with me by their side. I have 2 pre-teen daughter's who also love dogs. They will have tons of affection and love to be given to them. I am most always home and there for your dog at all times.
