I've owned dogs my entire life. Due to personal life changes I don't feel right getting one of my own at this point in time. It wouldn't be fair to them or myself. My dogs have always been like family, and not knowing what the future may hold I'd prefer to open my heart to a few of your fur babies. I only have my son every other week, and I work overnight. I don't have a problem getting up, and out during the day for any animal.
