Well let me start by saying, our entire family has dogs , and had always had dogs. we love them and treat them as family members, and Cameron is carrying on that tradition. There is not many things in life that is as rewarding as having a mutual loving connection with a dog, to tell you the truth , I think everyone should have that experience. fortunately me and all of my children have had that bond. unfortunately our 4 legged friends have a much shorter life span than we do , and that is the most heartbreaking part of this relationship. so our theory is to make every day of our dogs life special . that means caring for them when they need medical attention , proper nutrition, grooming and plenty of attention, and love. Cameron has all of these attributes to be a great dog owner , and dog caregiver.
