I have had a wonderful life with pets from cats to many types of dogs. We lost ours to cancer last year and we miss our black lab everyday. What we miss is going on a walk to the park and just hanging out at home playing. I work M-F ...typical work day and I work downtown but live in Lakewood. I'm comfortable most any breed of dog. I am gravitated to them when I see them with there people in public. I warm up quickly to a dog. I will be happy to care for your dog in my home for a few days if needed or take the pooch for a nice walk after work. This is new to me so I will probably offer t change my profile as I go along in this process. I miss having a dog but Im not sure if we want to get back into the ownership again right away
