I grew up around dogs both large and small, from chihuahuas to St. Bernards! Having been around dogs most of my life, we finally adopted our own dog, Freyja, last August -- she's a sweet 9 month old Bernese Mountain Dog. She gets along well with most every dog and person she meets, and is very mellow. In addition to a puppy friend, your pup will have access to our large fenced-in yard and lots of walks around the neighborhood. I am mostly available on weekends, but possibly some weekdays, as my office is pet friendly and depending on the dog, they could come to work with we me! I only take one family's pet(s) at a time to ensure we can give them enough attention. We also have a cat that keeps to herself, but who doesn't mind dogs around unless they have a strong prey drive around cats.
