i have lab/spaniel mix. He is 7 years old. I care about him more then I care about myself. I love dogs more than anything! I allow dogs on my furniture and beds. My dog is fluffy so if your dog needs constant brushing I can easily do it. I do not mind at all if dogs lick or drool. I don't mind taking your on long car rides. I live 5 minutes away from a vets office/ emergency room. My whole family absolutely loves dogs. While I do not have a yard, I do have a screened in porch. I constantly walk my dog so if your dog likes to walk than he will love me. I take my dog to the park about twice a week. I am very affectionate when it comes to dog.
