I have been a dog owner for over 40 years. During that time, I have had several breeds, but most recently had an English Bulldog that lived to almost 13 years after surviving cancer and a variety of health issues related to the breed. I also cared for two strong-willed Rottweilers that were loyal and loving from pups to old-age. Communication is very important to me, and an open and honest dialogue about your dogs is key to our relationship. They are family after all! I work from home, and can be available most days from morning till you get home from work in the early evening. My wife may join on a walk around the neighborhood, as she is a dog-lover as well, and cared for and maintained the health and happiness of our own dogs.
