I'm an epidemiologist studying HIV at Emory University during the day, but have my own 2 year-old blue heeler/jack russell mix who never seems to run out of energy and is too smart for her own good. My roommates and I all enjoy staying very active and letting Piper and their hound mix Jax explore and play with other dogs as often as possible, whether that be through regular walks around the neighborhood, trips to the dog park or dog beach, or adventures hiking around Georgia. A tired dog is a happy dog! I've been a dog lover my whole life and grew up with a variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I would love to watch your loved one while you're away.
