My whole life I have been around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I grew up in a pet store owned by my aunt so I know puppies and kittens. Plus, both my mom and grandmother have worked in a vets office for 10+ years and I would frequently go in during the summer and help where I could. I am young and agile so the big dogs don’t bother me when walking them. I am home full time and I don’t have any furniture right now, plenty of space for the pups. I also have vinyl floors so little messes here and there are no big deal. I do have two cats ages 6 and 1 years. Cat or dog must get along with cats to an extent.
