I am hopeless when it comes to leaving dogs alone. I love them. They can be your best friend. I was raised with animals my whole life. My grandmother has to Labs my mother has a Chihuahua and I had a Schnoodle that is until I lost her to Cancer a while back. She was my Best Friend. Now I have cats due to a small apartment but I love occasionally claiming friends dogs. They are just so lovable. I WILL carry on a conversation with your dog. HAHA. I work overnights in Retail and I'm looking for a job even if its a few days a week, that'll get back outdoors and exercising. While I cant have a dog where I live I have a undying love for them that I would love to share with your fur children.
