I've been around dogs my entire life. I had two family dogs growing up. I did everything with them from snuggling in bed to playing in the snow. When I finished college and got my own apartment, I got my own dog and he, naturally, became my best friend. We enjoy long walks in the city or Wissahickon and sitting outside to watch the neighborhood. While having him, I've watched friend's dogs while they go on vacation from 1-5 days at a time. I've always been flexible with picking the dog up and watching with as much love as I have for my own. My parents now have 4 dogs and when I go home we always end up walking, swimming in the lake, or hiking in the woods.
