My first dog was when I was 7, I've had dogs, cats, birds even an iguana! I got a new pup last June, and he has made my life so much more fulfilled. I've trained him to wash his feet and spin in the tub so his little paws don't get mud everywhere. I've taught him to turn on the light switch which was awesome until 12am when he hits that thing. I take him to the dog park to socialize once a day, and throw frisbee once or twice a day depending on how tired he is. (He's a border collie/McNabb loads of energy) I just love animals and need a side gig this seemed like the perfect fit for me.
