I've enjoyed dogs since I was a young girl and I was introduced to our elderly neighbor's pet, Lady. He had limited mobility so I gave her extra play. My bond with her was so strong that I even made her the subject of a school report! I've wanted dogs for many many years, but unfortunately apartments have many limits on pets. I do say "Hi" to almost every dog I meet when out for my walks and love giving the good boys and girls scratches! Interacting with them even just for a little bit (and obviously with owner permission) always puts a smile on my face! I have helped out another former neighbor over the years by taking her dogs on periodic walks. I have also dog sat mulitple dogs for friends. Entrusting me to take care of your pet is putting them in loving and eager hands.
