I have loved dogs since I have been a little kid. I have so many pictures of me playing and cuddling with dogs when I was a little toddler.About six years ago my parents got a golden retiever and chow mixed puppy who I loved a lot, but I still really wanted my own dog. A couple years later, I got my dog Abby when she was a little puppy. She is a pure bred golden retiever. I trained her to do a number of different things in the first few months after we took her home. I potty trained her as well as taught her to sit, stay, fetch, catch, and speak and I have been taking care of her by feeding her, taking her on walks, and cleaning up after her for the past few years.
