Growing up in a house with many dogs, I have extraordinary experience living with and taking care of an array of colorful personalities: a Toy Poodle, an (elderly) Labrador Retriever, and my German Shepherd puppy; sufficient to say, I am comfortable handling any breed, any energy level, and under any circumstances ! :) Since moving to this lovely city last year, I have found that there is a vacancy in my life, which is the product of growing up in a house with multiple dogs, previously filled by my dogs. For most of my life, my dogs were my best friends. I find playing with dogs quite therapeutic , or simply enjoying the subtle companionship offered by these lovely beings, and all the happy, pure energy that they put off into this world :)
