Since we got hunter 5 years ago, we've loved every second of his presence in our lives, despite having eaten half my shoes as a puppy. We have a big German Shepherd Husky cross, who has taught us how to be patient and love unconditionally. I quite active so I try to take hunter out for a run, but he is more of an off leash "leave me alone, mom" kind of dog ;) BUT, if your dog is a running dog, I would love to go for a early morning runs around our neighborhood with your furry friend. Hunter is big on playing ball, so let me know what your pooche's favourite activities is, and we'll be sure to do it so he/she feels right at home :) Can't wait to meet your pup!
