I have lived with dogs my entire life - some of the earliest photos of me are of me laying on the dog bed with my chocolate lab puppy (Luke). I have always been very patient and laid back, which I find is important when I am around any animal. I am also continuing trying to learn more about dogs and their behavior in an effort to be the best pet owner and caretaker I can be! I strive to keep my dogs as happy and healthy as possible because I know they would do the same for me if they could. Humans are probably incapable of matching the unconditional love a dog so freely and eagerly gives, but that does not mean we should not try!
