While I have not had a dog of my own in some years, I've had the pleasure of taking care of friends' animals, big and small. I love going for walks, and having an animal with me makes it even better. I'm compassionate-- I recognize that even though they are pets, dogs are still their own animals and should be treated with love and respect. I will be very sweet to your dog. I am so totally happy to go outside with your dog and run around. This makes us both happy! The weather here is always beautiful, and there are some good parks in the area. I give good scratches. Additionally, for dogs that need/like it I give pretty good dog-massages--particularly good for dogs with stiff joints or those that just love having extra love.
