I've never had my own dog but i have a lot of friends and family that do. The only reason i do not have a dog of my own is because of living in apartments and living with my parents who had two cats. I adored and loved my cats but i'm more of a dog person. One day i will have my own puppy. I love all animals and do very well with them. Right now i'm living with my in-laws who have two pit-bulls...they're very old and i love them. I would love to take dogs for a walk though to get some exercise. I do have a three year old son and a daughter on the way and if your dogs don't do well with children i have reliable babysitters...my son adores dogs and animals as much as i do. But i can assure you...your fur babies will be taken care of and loved. Any requests i promise i will make sure to follow.
