When a dog nudges my hand to say "hey keep up with the pets" is when I'm my most happy. I've had 2 dogs in my family, one medium sized and one small. Both equally cute. I’ve spent many hours volunteering at animal shelters, walking various breeds of dogs with their own unique charms and quirks. I've cared for bigger dogs, including long walks and runs to satisfy their needs. I've spent nights dog sitting for a highly pampered senior dog, going through his routine exactly as instructed. My own dog had anxiety, and I know all the tricks that got him to feel calm again. He also required diapers, so I have experience putting those on too. Puppies are also no problem, and I can work on their training with them while also making sure they get out their boundless energy. I love exercise and parks, or a good neighborhood walk. A good old belly rub is also great too. Every dog deserves a whole lot of love, and I am glad to give it to them.
