I have had dogs my entire life, a full twenty-seven years. These fur babies have always been some of my best of friends so I'll be sure to treat yours as such. Currently I have an adorable 7year old yellow Lab and Whippet mix. We run 20+ miles a week, he's hiked eleven different 14ers with me and we walk for at least a mile a few times daily, resulting in typically four miles. Is your dog an energetic one? I'd enjoy going on a walk and playing fetch with him/her. Just need to go outside often? I love the outdoors! We'll have so much fun. I work part-time in the evenings for about a couple hours a night, so I can easily and gladly work as much as you may need!
