I am a true dog lover. I work retail and actually love seeing and playing with all the dogs that come in rather than dealing with the customers. I have owned two black labs at different times in life. They kept me in shape and taught me how to spend much needed time with them ( they are very active and loyal dogs who love to spend every waking moment with you.) I don't have children but my lab is like my child. I watched my best friends dogs at various times, one of them had a list of medicines it had to take at various times of day and one with a seizure disorder who needed close watch. This is my true love in life, spending time with dogs.
