All dogs are puppies, just older, maybe slower puppies. And all puppies need love and attention. I've had four dogs of my own in my lifetime. Different breeds and a variety of sizes. And they definitely make life more interesting and fun. I'm home during the day 3-4 days a week, I'm available for overnights. I don't have a live in dog currently so there's plenty of attention and affection to go around. Special skills?: hugs, snuggles, running out their energy. I love to run a play and I'm sure most of them do too. :) I know every soul is different so I'm definitely willing to go with the flow and vibe of your sweet unique family member. I'm also pretty good at potty training.
