Information Ralph D. would like to know about your pet

We can talk so I can get an over-all view of your faithful companion and anything I should know to ensure that her/his fun-filled stay with me is top-notch! Their favorite toys and dishes/food/etc are welcome along with any meds and/or special instructions. If say, a doggy has a favorite bed they must have to sleep on or anything else please bring it along..whatever it takes!

A typical day

We can do whatever they want (within reason!) to make them happy. I have a nice two mile low-traffic loop just outside my door that we can do (more than once if need be) or shorter walks if that suits any particular dog. I also have about a three acre yard (+7 acres woods} that we can wander around on and sniff things and play..I really love the company of canines, they are truly a human's best friend!

I Love Dogs and Dogs Love Me!

Pet care experience

I am a very active guy who loves all animals, dogs in particular! Over the years my dogs and I have thoroughly enjoyed hiking, biking, kayaking, and all sorts of fun stuff that dogs love..My two best friends of the past sixteen years, Punkin' and Tenderheart have recently passed away..Before those two scamps I lived with an absolutely amazing Border Collie/English Bull Terrier mix for about fourteen wonderful years. I've always been one to have friends dogs stay with me if they go away/etc rather than resorting to a kennel. I really enjoy it..I live on about 10 acres and would in general be home full-time to happily care for your beloved dogs..
