I have watched this family dog and three cats periodically. At first, the animals were unsure. But they have feelings too. So warmed up with them. Petting and giving kisses.. I take this dog Moxie for walks. She sits in my lap and does not move. I scratch her ears and just fell in love taking care of the pets. I give dog rides. I give them treats. I play catch with them. I take pictures with the pets. I bring them to dog parks and functions. I make sure they have a good diet. I am just the most caring person in the world when it comes to any type of dog. They just make me Smile and laugh. It is the most rewarding experience.
