I've had three beloved spaniels and one standard poodle in my lifetime! I always begin introductions by letting them sniff my hand, never being pushy into their personal space. I love for them to sit my lounge chair with a blanket. They can sleep with me if they like and hold hands as we drift off to sleep. I provide plenty of outside time. We would go to the dog park if you and the weather allow. Your baby and I can get ice cream at Sonic if you like. And, they sometimes like to go through the car wash - inside, of course. I'll do just about anything to keep them happy and engaged. Let's me take care of your dog or cat and you can go have fun without worry!
