I am a total animal lover. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. They were large breed dogs but I love all types. I was the primary caretaker for my dogs and love them dearly. I walked them daily, took them on hikes and to the beach. I also fed them twice daily. My first dog was given to me by a family friend who couldn't take the dog with them when they moved. He had been caged and could not walk on a leash. He also did not like other dogs or people. I worked with him daily, training him to walk on a leash, be comfortable around other dogs and people. It was hard work but he became the most well trained dog of the bunch (3 dogs). I have watched houses and cared for family friend pets. I went to their houses daily to care for their animals and house. I have also watched friends dogs at my own house. We played fetch, went for walks, and cuddled up on the couch.
