I work from home so your dog will have company thru the day. Your baby can choose to remain inside or outside in the fenced Yard. We have a black labwho would love a play partner once in a while. I do have a cat, but she stays hidden with new people/dogs. I fostered in Colorado Springs and miss the unique personalities of each dog. I have worked with a variety of different breeds and behavioral challenges. I look forward to meeting new dogs and getting to know them, what they like. Their favorite toys. My husband works shift work so might be around to give lots of loving and scratches as well. We would love to spoil your baby for an evening or 2.
