My family always had a dog and cat for me to learn responsibility and care. My dog recently passed, and i am not ready to get another pet just yet, I would love to be around dogs again, dogs are always glad to see humans. I think dogs can tell if someone is a bad person or not, they always came up to me and Sida (my choc./weim.) with wagging tails and smiles. I can understand what it is like to loose a child, because Sida was my baby. She had wonderful life of 15 years. Fetching frisbee, exploring, learning, and teaching me to be patient. I rollerblade for exercise, I hike and explore. Dogs love me. Making multi media art keeps my heart and soul happy.
