I grew up with my parents dogs which they had 8 total. I learned to love on pets a long time ago. I have raised 4 puppies of my own over the years. My sweet puppy Prince died in 2010 from breathing problems I miss him dearly. I have not got another puppy because of my mourning for him. I loved Prince so much words couldn't even describe that was my main man. I will be purchasing a Yorkie at the end of the year because I need a little partner in crime. Pets are created to be loved and cared for they are no different from any member of a caring family. Staying with me for the day or over night is such a comfortable stay.
