Growing up I had dogs and took care of them on my own and loved it. When I moved out the first thing I did was get a dog and it was the best decision ever. He definitely keeps me on my toes and I absolutely love it! My boyfriend also has a dog about the same age and we always have them together and it's awesome. Taking them to the dog park is always fun bring water because it's way too hot for them not to have it. I also have a nannying job with two boys and they have a dog that I take care of also. She's a little chihuahua and comes to me as soon as I walk in the door.
