I have a dog back in Hawaii that I miss dearly, hopefully the lava will clear up by the end of the year so I can return to him! I am sending cash to the caretaker (my trusted friend) because he eats a lot, and I don't give him regular dog food. my dogs have always been large and require extra exercise. I am used to walking my dog and playing fetch with my baby in her sling. I also take in my friends dogs for months at a time, luckily they get along with my dog who still has his manly parts, and we accommodate the preferences of the owners: type of dog food, where they sleep, exercise requirements, leash requirements, Other animal interactions, baby interactions, etc... I can't wait to meet your furry friend!
