I have never been without a dog my entire life. At one point as a child it felt as if my home was a zoo, and I've learned to take care of many animals. Have raised senior dogs to 7 week puppies and loved every minute of it. I love taking my dogs on walks and will do the same with yours. I currently have two Australian Shepherds so I now how important it is to keep a dog's mind busy to keep them out of trouble.
