I grew up in San Jose CA in a multiple dog household. I moved to LA about three years ago and my dogs still live back home in San Jose. Words cannot describe how much I miss those dogs every day. It's impossible for me to walk by dogs on the street and not give them some loving or rub their belly. I love being outdoors and always wish I had a dog with me to play with. Last summer, I volunteered at a wildlife conservation in South Africa with lions, elephants, zebras, tigers, leopards, etc. So I believe there isn't any breed of dog I cannot handle! Small, big, loud, or quiet - I'll give your dog all the exercise and love it deserves.
