I grew up with family dogs since I was a kid. Even when I lived in room & board and developed strong relationships with their dogs. I was asked to take care of my friend’s dog a good number of times even I stayed overnights at their homes. I currently don’t have dogs and I do miss for not having dogs at my home. Don’t have much land lot in backyard...one main reason why I don’t have dogs at my home. I do have two adult cats. I do love cats much as dogs. I do enjoy walking with dogs and play with them especially with some tricks. Handshake with dogs is one of my favorite if dogs know how to do it. Definitely a dog lover!!
