My parents have always had Samoyeds, so I'm partial to big, fluffy dogs but love all kinds. I don't have a dog of my own because I live in an apartment with no backyard, but I embrace any opportunity to be around dogs. I'm available mornings during the week and most weekends. I work generally 2-10 as a newspaper reporter. My Twitter feed is a healthy mix of news and cute dog photos. I would happily walk or run or just hang out and sniff around depending on each dog's preference. I realized recently that the main reason I like to go running in the park on weekends is because there are generally a lot of dogs out and about. Instead of just admiring them from afar, I figured walking them would be even more fun.
