I am 33 years old and a retired Army veteran who LOVES dogs. I currently have a 2.5 year old lab, Puddles, who also loves other dogs. We are a huge Duck family which is where his name comes from. Go Ducks!!! My back yard is fenced in and good size to run around. I live 5 minutes from a dog park which would be included in each stay. My friends call me crazy at times, cause I am more affectionate with my pup than I am with other humans. That is exactly how I would be with your dog as well. I have a thing for taking lots of pictures of my dog. This would be something I would do for your dog to keep you updated on our daily activities. There are always treats in the house for those good behaviors (if they are allowed that is). If you have any questions, feel free to let me know. I hope to meet your pup sooner than later so we can begin a friendship that will last a lifetime :)
