I grew up around dogs of all sizes and breeds. My sons are 19 and 16 and have also grown up around dogs. To have a dog makes life complete =). I like dogs more than many humans =). My dog, Buddy, gets along with other dogs, he is very easy going and a love bug. I work from home, so your dog would have company and lots of love when you are away. I have experience with dogs that have epilepsy and cancer. I have administered medicine and have also provided special diets as needed. All dogs have a special need that may not be physically seen. Buddy and look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and Buddy looks forward to making some new friends =).
