I have always had dogs (and cats) in my life. Over the past decade I have taken care of a lovely Great Pyrenees, a playful Rodesian Ridgeback, a feisty Boxer/German Shepard, and a sweet little Terrier. When my friend went out of town I also was her designated dog sitter for her little dauchshunds. Administering their oral medicines, walking them twice a day and giving them all the love they needed while their owner was out of town. I am very comfortable with dogs and animals in general. One of my great pleasures of the day is taking my dog for a morning, evening and/or afternoon walk in the neighborhood. I always be sure she has the opportunity to take a poo, explore the surrounding neighborhood park and run a bit to expend her energy.
