Ever since I was a little kid my family has had dogs. Some of my earliest memories are of taking our golden retriever, Chase for walks around our neighborhood or laying my head on his side as we watched TV. I firmly believe our pets become our family (some days easier to be around than humans) and that the mark they leave on our hearts lasts a lifetime. Having lost my 20 year old cat a few months ago, I am not quite ready for a new pet of my own but I am excited at the opportunity to still be able to love on and provide companionship to some furry friends again :) I am at home full time and we have a lovely property with a huge, fenced in back yard so your pet will get lots of undivided attention and will have room to explore or enjoy some down time on the back deck as they please.
