I have had the pleasure of taking care of three dogs in my life. The first was a Boxer named Champ who lived to be 17 years old. Second was Nico, a Golden/Border mix also lived a wonderful 16 years. I now have my Min Pin/Chi mix named Tigerlily who is still a puppy at 11 months old. I can give my fullest attention to a dog's needs throughout the day including walking them with utmost safety precautions. I have a fenced backyard with room for playtime as well as a shady covered patio for cool rest time.
