would prefer someone who is home during the day. Both dogs take medication from time to time. Both dogs are sweet golden retreivers, but one is very frightened of storms, so being available to medicate him is important. The other dog takes medication twice a week for cushings disease. There is also a cat. all eat twice per day and the dogs love to be walked except when it is very hot. They have a fenced yard and just need to be let out for potty time.
