I don't have dogs though I want to have a dog. I enjoy playing and taking care of dogs. They are my friends. I used to have several dogs when I was living in Vietnam. Some of them passed away and some still are living with my family there. I love them very much as they are so friendly and loyal. I feel safe when having dogs in the house. This experience may not be totally relevant to taking of dogs but I would like to mention it to let you know how much I love pets. I used to take care of two senior pets for my host family. I love being with them and willing to spend lots of time with them. They both have kidney issue and needs attention. I don't mind it as I am happy when seeing them have enough water and food to eat.
