I have a dog of my own. I treat them as if they are my kids. My dog is fed twice a day and given treats for tricks. I am home 4 days a week. The other days I work 12 hour shifts My dog is getting older: she is almost 12. I have fostered puppies all the way to senior dogs, and even the seniors tried to keep up with mine during play time. Pets are allowed on my furniture, so no issues here if they do. I'm used to administering meds to pups as my dog that passed away required daily medication. I have a large fenced in yard, with plenty of room to run and play. If you have any questions you would like answered, just let me know.
