I live in a family of 4 and we're all huge dog lovers. My family and I had our dog, Lisa, for 15 years. It was a dream come true since I had wanted a dog from the time I was two years old. She was my best friend and first experience taking care of a dog. In addition to that both sets of my grandparents have had dogs while I was growing up. I have puppy-sat at my house and also at a family-friend's house while she was away on vacation. Care involved: feeding, walking, cuddling, and picking up after them.
