My husband, Justin and I, recently lost our beloved pittie, Bubba, suddenly to intestinal disease. We missed having a fur baby in our life so much that we had to adopt another one! This time a Blue Nose Pittie. He would love to have a playmate or two! We both work regular hours (8-5), so you need to be comfortable with your dogs being alone/crated during the week. We have two little girls, ages 8 and 12 who both love all animals! They are with us every other weekend, so if your pet doesn't get along well with children, please don't count us out. Blu can be quite rambunctious, so we are understanding of that sort of thing, but want to make sure that your pup(s) would not be aggressive with our girls. They love to give so much love to fur babies, and would not be able to resist cuddling up on them. We love doggies, to us like they are people. They are allowed to hang with us wherever we are--inside lounging on the couch, outside throwing the ball around, on car rides, asleep in bed. We crated Blu when we first got him, but it turned out he didn't need to be crated. We always crated Bubba when we were away, he was very likely to get into things he shouldn't while we were out. Let us know your thoughts on crates, though we expect to spend most, if not all, of our weekend time with your pup(s). We are open to any questions that you may have, and truly look forward to being a home away from home for your fur-member!
