I grew up taking care of our family dogs. I added a pup to our family to help my kids learn the responsibilities and blessings of having pets when she was 6 weeks old. I work nights at the hospital but because of the long shifts I have most days off during the week. And my husband is home at night, so we are rarely not home. We would love to help care for your pup. If your dog ever gets tired of playing with our boxer then my kids will gladly take over. My kids (10 & 8) love playing fetch, tug of war, and tag with new dog friends. We have a nice big fence in back yard for them to run around and play in. Hope we get to play soon!
