I have had a dog my whole life. I currently have a border collie that I try to walk as often as I can. I also take her to the dog park to run off some energy. We have also been working through the 100 tricks book to have tricks to show off. I do live in a townhouse with a front yard that I take my dog out on a leash. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I am home most of the time to care for your pet. I do leave the house every day to drop off and pick up my son from school. I would be the primary person to care for your pet although my husband and two children would also be around for playtime.
