I grew up from childhood in a family with dogs around all the time. I brought home my first puppy in the last 6 months, he's a husky just like I had in my teenage years. Training him went super well and its been one of the best experiences of my adult life having him around. I absolutely adore animals and I've been a nanny for several families over the past 10+ years, where I've cared for pets as well as children whether just on a normal daily basis or while the families were out of town.
