I have had dogs in my life since I was a little girl. So when I grew up I continued to have a dog in my life. My girls grew up with dogs in their lives.

If I went past regular feeding time Guppy the Chihuahua would dance on my head to wake me up as I worked graveyard this was usually around 5pm.

Charlie had food special made for her. Polly would bring it over frozen. Charlie also had supplements added with each meal. I also sat for Draco the Sheriff s red lab
