I grew up taking care of farm animals. Since I moved into the city I have had a dog, a cat or both. I cuddle with them when their cold. I make sure they have the positive human interaction they need. I grew up with bigger dogs but smaller dogs have been more of my specialty. They always seem like they crave more of that personal attention like a child. Pugs, chihuahuas and pomeranians are the breeds that I've taken care of. I've only been bitten one by a dog but that was as a child. I'm very careful with new animals as to not frighten them or show any type of hostil body language. Overall, I really enjoy these little guys. They are awesome.
