I have been around dogs since I was eight years old. That is when my dad gave in to my begging for a puppy. lol A girl never forgets her first dog. Over the years, I have had a total of eleven dogs. They were different breeds, sizes, activity levels and temperaments. I loved every single one of them. I am available whenever needed. I have taken care of newborn puppies, sick senior dogs who needed special attention, lazy lounging dogs, and, active/energetic dogs. If you have a fenced in yard, I would not mind playing fetch to his or her hearts content. I have three dogs. They are an 90 pound golden retriever, a 45 pound mutt (boxer/terrier/poodle), and, an 11 pound bichon frise/shih tzu.
