I set my own schedule at work so I'm available to leave and let your dog out or take them for walks. I've been a dog owner/person for my entire life. I don't presently have a dog as I'm in the process of finding my next forever home. I've cared for many dogs over the years, many with health issues. As far as exercising your dog is concerned, I don't run unless I'm being chased but I can power walk like your Great Aunt in a 90's track suit any day of the week! Dogs think I'm funny. Cat's accept my sense of humor with as much grace as a cat can muster while planning the destruction of the human race. Well, that's all folks!
