I have had dogs all of my life. Right now I have a 8 lb Shorkie dog and 2 parakeets. I have also owned horses most of my life. My neighbors have a Springer Spaniel and a Labradoodle. Whenever they travel my daughter and I take care of their home and their dogs. I give them love and care just like they were my own. They have even slept in the bed with me before. I work part time at home, so I am home most of the day and evening. I am reliable. My little dog is healthy and not aggressive towards other dogs. We have a large fenced in back yard. Your dog would be very well taken care of and loved under my care.
