Have a dog in your life at times to suit you!

I know how empty the house is when you've said your final goodbye to your beloved dog; or dogs, in our case. We lost both of ours within a fortnight. We wondered if we should get another at our time of life, and when we had other things we wanted to do.We were so glad we found out we could host for Barking Mad. We tell John when we are available and he finds adorable doggies for us to love when their owner is on holiday. We have had all sorts and they bring smiles to our faces! The dogs are brought to us by John and they come with everything they need, including information about their regular routine, likes and dislikes etc. We are still part of our local dog community as well as being able to pursue our other hobbies.The best of both worlds! If you hate being without a dog, but don't want to commit to one full time, this is the ideal solution.
