I had a mix springer spaniel/beagle for ten years. He was a good dog, and I miss him. I wanted to get another dog, but I work full time, I don't feel its fair to the dog. So I thought about taking care of dogs as employment, so that I can enjoy dogs again. Our dog was very loved, I was home during the day and walked him and taught him tricks, my husband at the time loved to run with him. I have no children at home and a great neighborhood to walk a dog.
