I have had dogs my entire life (37 years). They bring so much joy to life. I am that person that will ask a total stranger if I can pet their Dog and then give it lots of kisses. I work from home so the Dog will rarely be home alone. Even though I have a fenced in yard, I still take my Dog for 3-4 walks a day. I have a 8 year old Boston Terrier/Pug Mix who I consider my Life Partner. My Husband knows he comes second :)
