My wife and I just bought a house. We’re having some flooring replaced and minor repairs done, so the house will not be habitable for about two to three weeks. The place we are staying in the meantime does not allow dogs.
We have a 45 lb. Black Lab mix. She is well-trained in both verbal and hand signals, and is house broken. She actually rings a bell hung next to the door anytime she needs to go out! She’s very social, family/kid friendly and is cautious/gentle around little ones (we have an 18 month old daughter). She is friendly with both cats and dogs (she has lived with both), and has NEVER shown agression towards any other animal (not even the cats!) We had a friend with another female lab mix who was going to watch her in the mean time, but his dog is proving to be very territorial about the house and yard. It would take weeks to properly introduce and acclimate such a dog to a new member of the household.
Any KC Dopers willing to watch our lovable canine for a few weeks? Obligitory pics below:

She is comfortable both as an indoor dog and an outdoor dog. If you have a fenced yard and would prefer to keep her there that’s cool. If you prefer indoor dogs, she likes that too. She’s pretty laid back. Anyone interested in taking her in is free to change their mind at anytime. Just please don’t try to keep her! We DO want her back in a couple of weeks…
