I had the pleasure of growing up always owning a dog (or two) throughout my life. My pets have included not only dogs but, cats, a parrot, exotic fish, hamsters, bearded dragon & two horses. I can't imagine life without a dog by my side, they are such great loving companions. Presently I have 2 Boxers, a German male and an American female. The female is hearing impaired and is also a registered service dog.
