I have been around animals my whole life as I grew up on a farm in rural Washington. I have a springer spaniel who lives there with my parents (her life is great on the farm)! I taught her how to hunt and how to walk on a leash. I miss having her around that is why I would like to help others in exercising their pets. I am very active-I do something everyday whether it is walking, running, yoga or swimming. When I run/walk it would be nice to have a pet to do that with.
