I play with them and take them out for walks. I like petting them touch is important they get your sent and know you better. I've had dogs all my life and they have all been different but they all were very playful and loving. I've also taken care of medium sized dogs but mostly had a doberman and they were all big but thought they were lap dogs I had cat's before they were fun too. I haven't had any bad experiences with any dog or cat that I've had or taken care of. All my friends have dogs and they are always running up to me smelling me licking me they love to lay on me too. I really love them a lot.
