I have always had animals, from birds to cats, & dogs, we have 4 dogs currently, from 16 years old down to a one year old, from 11 lbs. up to 100 lbs. I love kayaking, hiking, scalloping, fishing, outdoors, gardening, we love our animals so very much and hate seeing any animal being abused, they are part of our family, and when we lose one, it takes forever to get over it, they are our babies!! If I walk or drop in on your pet, just know I will be very cautious and attentive to your pets needs, safety always first, I would want a meet and greet first of course and prefer harnesses on your dog for safety reasons, if walking, they are getting to know me and me them, it would be safer being in a harness, that way no slipping out like in a collar, safety first and a lot of love and patience
