Have owned, cared for and loved many dogs large and small my entire life. I love animals more than people and they are priority. Our babies get all the lovins, couch time, play time they want. My kids are very knowledgable and gentle, and love them as much as I do. My son is constantly throwing their ball around and my daughter loves to brush and love on them. We have a large fenced in yard, quiet country road for walks, and 3 other pets, 2 dogs/1cat who loves playing with others. 2 are inside pets and only play outside weather permitting. We also have alpacas, chickens, mini donkey, and a XL great pyraneese who protects them all! I will be home if there is a scheduled pet sitting job. My husband and I are both first responders and have rotating schedules, someone is always home.
