I currently have one dog in my own home, however I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, rodents, just about any animal imaginable. I have always loves animals of all kinds. I currently do house sit animals for my family, they normally do stay with me. I have a small cage for their dogs seeing as they are a small breed, but I also allow them to sleep in my bed amd hang out with me. I live near a dog park and often take my own dog there to play, I also have a large back yard area as well. Big or small, long hair or short, no matter what in my care your dog will feel the love that you too would normally give it.
