Hello! I used to own a white poodle mix dog and he would know when I was crying and tried to console me! I understand how important our little best friends are and I assure you to be a good friend to them. I was raised to be responsible, friendly and smart to acknowledge any differences and habits they may have (i.e. biting, barking, chasing etc.) Given the knowledge you have, I believe we will get along nicely with your best friend! I also love cats, rabbits and birds! I enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals (including horses, fish, barn animals, turtles) and I would like to get a dog or a cat myself one day when I can afford to take care of them.
