If I'm at a party, I'm usually petting the dog. I have 2 labs myself. They are our kids. My fiancé says I love the dogs more then I love him. Haha! I have more compassion for dogs then humans. I'm a very loving caring person. I have had dogs all my life. People have call me the dog whisperer, I haven't had many dogs not like me. I love dogs that's all I can say. I have experience with all different kinds from tiny to minture horses (100+ Lbs dogs). I always so the bigger the better. The little ones are fun also because they can curl up on your lap. Please consider us to care for your fur babies. We also have 1 cat.
