I have had dogs in my life since I was a child and I can't get enough of them. Having fur all over me is embraced with pride. I could play with them all day, walks are ALWAYS encouraged, but I can also be stern when I need to be for training purposes. As my own dog has gotten older, I've had to learn how to care for him in a gentle and very patient way. I've had to educate myself on animal care as I grew older and I've just fallen in love with animals as a result. I also have some experience with cats and birds and I am open to gaining more experience! Big animals, small animals, NO PROBLEM! I love all animals!
