I will love your dog which means exercised and engaged in activities to make sure they don't miss you too much while you're away. Maybe learn a new trick or skill and play, play, play! Also, romp around with my older lab mix, Tripp. He misses his older sister, a chihuahua, who recently passed and is looking forward to meeting new friends. He is a retired therapy dog who needs a friend to lay in the sun and enjoy our huge yard. And although dogs aren't allowed on the furniture, there are lots of fluffy blankets for resting on the floor. Plus we have plenty of toys to share. The neighborhood is great for long, quiet walks when the weather allows, with a park close by to visit.
