I have a large house but half is blocked off. I have a huge yard for lots of playtime. I LOVE dogs and have 2 Chihauhaus at present. I always worry when I have to leave my dogs for any length of time and am SO BLESSED to have great people to do that for me. It makes me more aware of how dogs that are not with their 'pack' need a lot of love and reassurance. I Would prefer small to medium sized dogs but will take one large dog at a time. Would probably limit to 4 a night, besides my 2. Would provide day care also and I have a 'dogs' room for potty training. I would be home 95% of the time except for drs appts. The only place I go except to church.
