I have had dogs since I was born, and was often left to dog sit when my parents were away. My parents dogs sometimes come and stay in my flat which is very close to burgess park and various smaller parks (so easy for toilet trips!) I love being around dogs and used to take mine for minimum two hour walks daily/would get up in the morning and go running with them. I miss having a calming animal presence and would love to hang out with/ care for your dogs! I also grew up with gerbils, goldfish, cats and horses (my mum used to joke about us being the Dr Doolittle house) and so understand the need for a calm demeanour around animals, and the treatment of pets as their own being rather than simply a plaything.
