I have grown up and spent much of my life around many dogs or various sizes and breeds. My parents were big Schnauzer lovers and we always had at least two in the house at all times. While I was going through high school I worked on a local farm, and the owner had three Shih Tzu dogs. I helped her care for them regularly and even helped deliver and raise a couple litters of pups! I love all animals, and can make friends quickly with them. I am the proud owner of an (almost) 2 year old Lab/German Shepard mix named Lucy. She is very active and loves to make new friends.
