I've have experience with dogs from Lhasa apso, border collie, chow chow and pugs. My husband and I Love dogs. Im a medical social worker, I work from home telephonically. My husband is retired military and works During the day. I like to keep active so i would take your dog on walks and play with them outside. He or she will be in good hands I would treat them as if they were my own. they will get lots of attention. I want your dog to feel as if they were at home with you. I like to keep a similar routine so they are not that home sick when with us. I want them to feel like they are also on vacation. Lill
