Just mention the word "walk" to my son's dog and he goes for his leash. I love walking him. It is just as good for me to walk and run with dogs as it is for them. They are great company. I quite enjoy talking to them. Telling them how beautiful or handsome they look and talking to them about what I am doing. Checking on them to see if they are happy or sad, comfortable or restless. My daughter has two large dogs which I pet sit when she is on vacation. I have always been around animals all my life as I grew up on a farm. Had dogs of my own many times. I work from 2pm until 7pm weekdays. Other than those times I am available!
