I have taken care of neighbor’s dogs in my childhood, took care of my sister’s dogs over the last 15 years, and took in an 8 month old puppy which we trained and cared for 3 yrs (currently with ex-partner) I still visit a few times a year. Fenced in back yard for the zoomies. Nature preserve about 2 miles away (let’s hop in the car and go) and a dog park near by. Love walking, hanging out on the couch, brushing, bathing, cutting nails and just good old petting.
