I adore animals, but I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with them (Suzy was masquerading as a Whippet and Dido, well, we're not sure, but we think she was Dachshund Jack Russell mix). I spent much of my childhood walking them in our local woods. I have never met a dog I can't befriend, and I'm sure I was a dog in a previous life! I regularly look after various friends' dogs when they're away. I've been looking after little Bailey since she was a tiny puppy for the past 12 years. She's the Jack Russell in my profile picture (though I think she has some Staffy in her due to her build!). I have managed to befriend most of the cats on our street and regularly feed our neighbour's cats when they're away. They can be found in our garden most of the time! I am caring, have lots of energy for play and feel I understand dogs better than humans sometimes. I can't wait to meet your furry family members!
