I grew up with a toy poodle who was higher on the household hierarchy than me. She was extremely intelligent, fluffy, a great lap dog... but very high maintenance, so I'm used to that type of care. I have a strong urge to have my own dog but it's not realistic for me right now. I'm a young professional working 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, hoping to fulfill my maternalistic instincts while making some extra money on the side. I'm very nurturing and reliable. I have my own home, a large yard, and a great neighborhood to go for walks. I do have mild allergies, so please keep that in mind. Please let me love on your furry companion and take away your stress!
