I always had dogs growing up. Now, my husband and I have a sweet Lab of 13 months that we trained since she was 3 months old. I work from home most of the days and have a flexible work schedule that allows me to take Capitu (my dog) and your dog for long walks during the day. I live in a 2-bed place, with a great fenced-balcony (2nd floor). Dogs here are allowed everywhere - except on the bed during the day (at bed time is all good). I live in a great neighborhood full of dog parks and places to take long walks. Capitu loves it!
