I've been around dogs my whole life. Love them all. Little ones and big ones. . All types of dogs. I am very good with animals and they sense that I love them too. I have had experience working in animal shelters and also lived and worked with a professional dog trainer and boarder. I am at home fulltime and love to walk the dogs, but with a large yard and screened in porch that is just for the dogs to hang out, they can get plenty of exercise just in my back yard. Main thing is that I love them! And I have always taken exceptional care of animals. A dog is a special animal and I do love them very much. I am a retired federal employee so I am home most ofthe time. I have breakfast at 7am and dinner at 5. I spend time in the screened in porch withthe dogs and to watch them when outside in the large backyard. I have a large fenced in backyard and a screened in porch. I let the dogs out every few hours for as long as they like. It seems that most dogs want to just stay close by me.
