Why I love dog sitting I've had pets for as long as I can remember. The first dog I remember having was Barney. I don't know what breed she was, but she was a big and black shaggy dog. She was so sweet and terrified of cameras. Then I think came Diamond, a dalmatian, and then Smokey, a chow or some sort of chow mix I believe. We also briefly adopted Runt when his owners threatened to take him to the pound(he was very hard to contain). He stayed with us for a while before he finally slipped out one day and we never saw him again, sadly. My family and I were taking a walk around our old neighbor hood when we ran into a rottweiler mix. My dad decided to pet her and she ended up following us home and refused to leave. We still have her. Most recently we have a chihuahua and a terrier that we rescued. The chihuahua was pregnant when we found them so we took care of the puppies until they were weaned and then we found a place that would help adopt them out. They were spayed and neutered and we fostered them until they were all adopted out. They were all very cute, but I was extremely fond of one particular fluffball, Puff Puff, and I ended up keep her.
