I was in the the U.S. Army for 2 1/2 years deployed for 1 year of that. I understand the frustration of long work days and no one being able to look after your dog. I would use up my lunch just so i could let my dog out. My dog is highly trained, loves to play and go for walks at the dog park as do I. I take her to the dog park every other week. I will enjoy the exercise and play just as much as they will. Just let me know what your dog needs and wants and he or she will have it! because I understand the struggle. I wanna see your smiling pets after i leave them. Thank you
