Over the years I have had the opportunity to train several types of dogs and birds. My oldest companion is Shadow, and he is about to hit 14 years old and he is still as jolly as ever when he goes on his daily walks. My other dog, Lashes, loves her ball more than anything in the world. She will lay the ball right in front of me so that I can throw it fr her. I also have two birds. I usually let them hang out on my shoulders whenever I am cooking my breakfast or making coffee. I built them a little house they can walk right into whenever they need a nap. I love to have a good time with my pets.
