My dogs are my children and are treated a such. I am a retired school teacher and dogs have always been in my life. I have bred many litters and shown my dogs to their championships at shows across the country. They ARE my life. My own dogs range in age from 2 years to 10 years old. I also have done veterinary work and all breed grooming. Horses and cats have been a part of my life over the years also, until lately. Personally, I would rather be in the company of animals because their trust is unending and their love is forever. Dogs are Love and that is all there is to tell, you can see it in their eyes right into their soul.
