I used to have a dog when I was 4. I played with her, feed her, and gave her a bath 3 days and 2 times a week. I also took her for walk. When I was 8 my Dad decided to give it away to my other Uncle on his side. Because we were moving to an apartment and there wasn't any room. Because I was 4 my brother was born and it was too crowded. A year later my parents got a cat and I have her ever since. I love dogs and other animals I took good care of my Uncle's dogs in my early teens. Also loved taking care of my dad's dog. I am very in-tuned to animals and will be the same with yours.
