I was raised on a ranch with all sorts of animals including many different kinds of house pets. My parents bred show Labrador retriever's until I was a teenager. My family has an 8 year old Welsh Corgi that sleeps with us at night and is an indoor outdoor dog. I have always owned dogs even in college. I love playing, training, and cuddling with dogs. I have lots of experience training them and will cherish any time I get to spend with them. I will treat them as if they were my own. Your vacation will be their vacation too and I will make sure they have fun in everything they do. I have a dog bowl I will take with us on walks to make sure your dog will not get too hot in the Texas heat.
