I have had dogs all my married life over 35 years . I had no children so these were like my babies . I am now dog less but not ready to commit to getting another dog . I have so much love to give to your dog and miss terribly the affection a dog can give you so this is why I want to care for your dogs as I would my own. I am 62 years old and enjoy the outdoor like . I now walk regularly with the ramblers
