I've owned dogs and cats all my life until the last couple of years. My life has simply been a little too busy to commit to my own dog lately. However, I miss being around cats and dogs. I'm the person that your dog will come to even though you say "They don't normally go to anybody." I'll be happy to play with them or take them for walks and even let them lay with me while I work or sleep. I have owned two cats and four dogs of my own over the years including a Cocker Spaniel, Beagle, and 2 Chihuahuas. My mom has owned 2 miniature Schnauzers, a Pomerians, and a Chihuahua who I'm around all the time. I've also been regularly around my brother's 4 Labs and a Vizla.
