I have a small dog at home that I care for and take her for a walk every day. I bath her and take to groom and feeling and she loves me. Loved dogs from 8 years old and had dogs all my life. And will not mistreat no dog. They have to be small my dog is a Shih Tzu and she very special to me. Dogs have so much sense and are very human and and know when they are love. I change my dog water every day, and she be glad to see me when I come home, She sense that love of a owner. Having a dog is so much fun and excitement to feel that love you can give, a walk in the park, a toy you can give her.
