Hi, My name is Howard/Howie/Howow. Like many on this site, I am a pet lover, especially a dog lover. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than see a doggo smile and get excited about going for a walk or feel his or her furry warmth as they dream about squirrels and all-you-can-eat doggy treat buffets. Call me whatever, but I cannot help but think that being born in the year of the dog makes me really almost a hooman embodiment of one. According to the Chinese zodiac the Dog sign "...is the symbol of loyalty and honesty. People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They are honest, friendly, faithful, loyal, smart, straightforward, venerable and have a strong sense of responsibility" - this truly *is* me, and, if you ask anyone who knows me, they will certainly attest to it. If this is the kind of person you would like your dog to spend time with while you are away, then please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you for visiting! Warmest Regards, Howard
