I am a definite lover of animals, especially the puppy kind - I often refer to all dogs as puppies because that's what they all are at heart. I currently have a 3 year old 60lb lap dog (in her eyes) named Sedona who is a German Shepard/Blue Heeler/Mastiff mix. She is spayed and completely caught up on her shots. I trained her from a puppy to follow typical commands (sit, lay, stay, etc.) and a few interesting ones (please, tell me, smile) and she can walk without a leash. She loves dogs, cats, babies, play time, belly rubs, kisses, running, chasing, cuddling... it would be easier to list the things she doesn't like - baths. My newest loves are cats, as my wife of 2 years brought one into our marriage, and we adopted another while we were overseas in Kuwait. Both are male, Kevin and Ice, and are both neutered and caught up on shots. It's very slow going, but we are making headway with training them too - they can almost always sit on command (for a treat, obviously... nothing is free with them) and stand on their hind legs. I'm very patient with all pups and love meeting and taking care of new furry friends - I hope you let me take care of yours!
