I have a dog, 2 ferrets, and chickens! I have had pets my entire life. I enjoy all types: dogs, cats, small pets, reptiles, birds. I enjoy playing with them and making certain they are happy. When walking dogs, I get the added bonus of getting exercise in too. I love being outdoors, playing with pets, seeing their happy faces when they play. I always make certain my dog is healthy. When I am with other people's dogs, I look to see if their dog is healthy too. Dogs should be treated like people, when they are sick, they need to be taken care of. I also spoil my pets. They are very special to me. When dogs are happy, it makes me happy too!
