I have been a dog lover/owner almost my whole life. I recently lost my beloved Lillie and it's just too quiet at home now during the day. While I'm not ready to dive in to getting another dog of my own - Let me take care of your pup! Since I work from home, your dog will have almost constant companionship and I don't intend to have more than one dog at a time so your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a quiet neighborhood- with no thru traffic and while I don't have a "yard", I do have a large enclosed courtyard if your dog likes to lay out. The neighborhood has just one circle/street thru it which makes for a great stroll.
