I have always loved having a dog as part of my family to watch grow & to spend time with. I don't consider dogs my pets, I consider them my friends! I've spent an extensive amount of time walking, playing, cuddling, running, washing, and napping with my dogs in the past. My future plans have potential to take me out of the country, which leaves me hesitant to bring another dog of my own into the household. It would be beyond wonderful to still be able to spend as much time as I'd like to with dogs without tying myself down!
