I have been around dogs since I was a baby. My grandmother raised collie show dogs, and I remember always being excited to be able to talk her beautiful dogs for a walk, feed them or play with them. Though I didn't own a dog of my own, throughout my childhood I always adored puppies and dogs, and in 2018 I had my first experience loving a cat when a stray seemed to have adopted me. And in 2019 and 2020 two large pit bull mixes joined our family. The dogs are presently mainly in my care, particularly the senior who is now 13 years old and requires daily medication for seizures. And though some days are harder than others, there is nothing better than seeing their precious faces everyday. The way I see it, the more animals I get to know, the better!
