I probably already love your pooch. I'm really generous with my time with the pups and treat them like they are my own. I like to figure... what would I like if I were this dog...? And go from there! Not afraid to go on long walks or mini jogs if thats what your pooch is into. Definitely into cuddles, but can understand if your pup likes his/her personal space. Very adept at tug of war and if you have one of those "chuckit" toys I'm all in for that! Hailing from SF(originally from NY, Upstate) ... where I hear there are more dogs than babies I started watching my friends pooches, while they went on vacations. Super responsible, I know my friends have never had to worry about leaving their furry loved ones with me. Super laid back but very attentive and excellent at taking direction( from you, not the pooch :)
