I am used to dogs and caring for them. Growing up with retrievers and then gatting my own (labs was a natural progression) Taking plenty of excercise and enjoying the company of dogs especially those that are a little more needy comes naturally as working from home allows plenty of time for hosting my own and other peoples dogs. Winnie (chocolate lab) likes company and would enjoy being with another dog. We have a safe courtyard garden (with a pee patch!!) the house is near the Common so walks are readily available 3 or 4 times a day and there is a dining room which has become a dog room and my office!! So I can accommodate one or two dogs at anytime as long as they do not all want to lie on my feet at the same time!! Winnie is on a strict diet so if your pooch requies a special diet no problem or needs a little more attention I am quite used to care giving! Older dogs very welcome.
