To start, I’ve been around dogs/cats my whole life and i can’t imagine my life without them. Every time i go on a run or hike, I usually say “hi” to the dog first before the human - LOL. I have a great love for all animals and they know that. Most of my time taking care of dogs is for my Mom (rescue boxer owner) and Sister (Golden Retriver owner) when they are out of town (requires overnight stay). I love to see their excitement when they see me coming cause it means either a walk or much needed break if i beat them home from work if just stopping by for a visit...and sometimes they get a good brushing..who doesn’t love to have their hair brushed! Even though i don’t have a dog now, I’ve had a couple of my own as a child and later on in life. I’ve had from as small as a Maltese to a Husky. I don’t like to say i have a favorite breed because they all seem so sweet to me - i want them all!! Probably the most adventurous and well mannered dogs i use to personally take care of and hike with quite often were a couple of Labs (black and chocolate). They were father and son and boy were they a handful, but so much fun! So one of these days, i will have a dog again, but for now i sure would like to spend time with yours : ). **please note, i am available on weekends (sat/sun) for a drop in visit in the mornings and a walk/hike in the afternoon anytime after 4pm. I’m in school. Thank you for your understanding.
