I recently lost my border collie to cancer but he always loved to take walks and we spent lots of time exercising. I've had dogs for many years and enjoy taking them out for walks. I typically walk 3-5 miles everyday, and have missed having a dog to keep me company. My kids are grown and I have a lot of free time, but I am not planning on getting another dog right now so this is a good opportunity to get my puppy fix.
