Responsibilities

Tinta needs 2 walks each day. The first one is usually around 7 am, and we always go to Miller Park. She likes to smell every leaf and twig and usually pees several times and poops once. Sometimes she wants to walk all through the trails, and other days she just wants to come back home. When we get home, she has her breakfast and then goes to one of her sleeping spots, or sometimes she stands by the patio door waiting to be let out into the yard. She goes between napping spots and hanging out in the yard throughout most of the day. Right around 4 pm she'll let you know that it's time for her afternoon walk. Often, this is just around the block, but sometimes we go back to Miller Park. As soon as she gets back from her walk, she's ready for her dinner. We like to take her to Salem Lake or Reynolda Gardens once a week for a longer walk - up to about 4 miles. She sleeps in the downstairs bedroom on her bed. Very occasionally, she'll wake us up in the night to go outside and pee, but this is very rare. If it's raining or very wet outside, she doesn't like to go out, but we try and persuade her to get out to pee at the very least. Thunder and lightning make her nervous, so she'll usually crawl under the bed if there are any booms. She's a very sweet old girl, and she loves having people around. Though she isn't super affectionate or kissy, she's happiest when people are nearby, and she loves belly rubs and ear scratches. She can be left alone for up to 4 hours at a time, but she does need to be inside when you're away from the house. We never leave her in the back yard when we aren't at home. There are a few plants that will need watering once a week, but none of them are fussy or complicated. All instructions for the house and the dog will be printed and tacked to the refrigerator.
