I am the lady that would rather be with the animals---I love dogs!! I have had dogs growing up...and in my adult life--a beagle, "Toto" and we still have a terrier. The Beagle was known as Lily the Wonder Beagle. I used to work with a lady who has since moved out of Columbus with a pet-sitting business....so I have "slept with the dogs" walked many a dog besides my own. and truthfully gravitate towards the dogs at social gatherings. Make sure they are fed, watered, pooped picked up, play time with their special toys and listen carefully to what the owner says about Rover's habits. Dogs , cats, and all the other animals are the family and must be treated with respect and dignity
