I love dogs, I've had them and/or lived with them for the majority of my life. I'm a novelist, and as such am home full time, and love taking walks during the day, which essentially makes me a dog! I also happen to live in one of the most dog-friendly neighborhoods of an extremely dog-friendly city. I've lived with many different types of both dogs and cats throughout my life. I tend to be very relaxed and pretty easy-going with dogs, and I've never met one that I didn't like. I am very available during the week, given the nature of my work, and I tend to stay very active, such as walking and running, which I like to do with dogs when I can.
