I am an avid dog lover. I have had a dog since I was 8 years old and have babysat countless dogs since then. I have had a small shih-tzu and a black lab. They were the best! Although I know you think your pup is the best...rightfully so! I have babysat rotties, greyhounds, beagles, poodles, boston terriers, yorkshire terriers, and more. Usually I am the one who talks to the dogs at the party. Yes, that is me, and will trust the dogs instincts on whether a person has a good soul or not. I understand that each dog breed is unique and requires their own way to go about certain things. I understand some dogs need way more exercise and play time than others as well. I am purely an animal lover. I have volunteered at an Elephant Sanctuary in Thailand, where I was around about 50 rescued elephants and about 500 rescued dogs and cats. It was the highlight of my life. All animals need the love and care that any human would need. I truly believe this, and left the sanctuary with this concept solidified in my mind, body, and soul. I look forward to meeting your precious family member. My fiance and I recently rescued a puppy in April. His name is Bubbles and is the light of our life. I haven't had a doggie in about 8 years (since moving out of my parents) and was waiting for the right time. We are over the moon with our baby.
