This is the first time in over 30 years that I have not had a dogs in my life and in my house. I have lots of love to give to your pups and time to make sure they will be well taken care of. I have had poodles, dachsunds, labs, terriers, and others of unknown origin, ie Muts. All loved and taken care of. Have fenced backyard and nice older neighborhood to walk and run in. Park nearby and walking/bike path along the Bayou. Retired from my day job so have the time to pay attention to you dog and promise to stay in contact with you while you are away. I know it can be stressful on both you and your pet to be apart from each other. Give my a try.
