I have lived my entire life with at least one dog in my household. I have raised, cared for and trained three dogs at once along with two cats in the same household. All three dogs could accompany me anywhere off-leash and come to me and sit and stay on command. I love interacting and playing with them as well as caring for them. I believe in good training, quality food and making them happy and comfortable because the love they give us is unconditional and special. They are my favorite animals because of the connection they can share with us. It brings me a lot of happiness to be around them and I understand the difficulty of needing someone to watch after them in your absence and the worries that go along with that.
