Our senior dog passed away last year and we haven't had the heart to replace him, but miss having dogs about. We have a small to medium sized fenced yard and our pets are like part of the family, they stay with us from room to room, cuddling on the furniture (if you allow) and getting plenty of playtime and love. I have experience administering medication and providing special feeding care for older pets. Would prefer that a dog be ok being kenneled for short periods of time (school pickup or gym time for example), but an adult is home at least 20 hours a day. I am a massage therapist and therefore give the BEST belly rubs! Pups must be ok with cats in my home, though they will probably remain in hiding for the duration of a stay. I don't have any photos of us walking dogs, we prefer to give them our full attention out of doors, but I have plenty of pictures of us enjoying the company of our furry family members (some ours, some we have watched for others in the past).
