I love and care for your dog like they are my own! I only take one dog at a time. I snuggle and play with them and provide constant attention and companionship. Your dog is welcome in my lap and in my bed at night if they like. My fenced backyard is large and I take them out frequently to run around and play, however formal walks will be limited. I take only small dogs up to 28 pounds, and lap and snuggle dogs are enjoyed. I have had many dogs of my own in my life, all loved, and treated like my children. My father was a licensed, selective dog breeder in Ohio, and taught me care, grooming and behavioral knowledge. I have very good rapport and patience with dogs. However, I do not have any patience for fleas or accidents, and prefer not to have them in my home. I don't have a pet, so I am looking forward to loving yours! I am retired, and a painter (of pictures), so I spend some of my time in my attached studio with my visiting pup. When not in my studio, my visitor is doing what they like, I may be outside with them sitting on the porch watching, or I just might have a lap full of dog watching TV or reading. Very laid back and comfortable environment. I have a great fenced yard that has sniffy things for them to check out. Visitors like to nose around, find a shrub, or a special place, and generally explore. I keep an eye on them from my porch.
