I have a wonderful walking path alongside my back yard and it'll be used through out the day for morning walks and afternoon walks. I have a patio where my dogs can eat and rest and enjoy the sunshine! I love animals and to a very deep extent I believe animals and babies/children are the innocents and have to be protected and kept from harm. All they want is to be loved and to please their adult! I have a daughter who has an animal training business by the name of Pooch Patrol so she is on hand for any animal training an owner might request for their pet. I'm happy to bath and groom your baby! I will text photos and information about your pet as I'm sure you will feel lonesome for him/her while on vacation and away...a picture of wellness and happiness can give you peace while you are gone...and, of course,I give lots of hugs!!
