I have loved dogs all my life. I was blessed to own a "West Highland White Terrier," who owned my heart. We walked, played outside& rested on my bed together. I checked his water several times daily and gave him lots of affection, although he gave me more. I now have a new dog & am highly conscientious taking good care of her. She is spunky so we play many times per day & get out on evening walks. I feel dogs give their owners such unconditional love and it is a love that is hard to put into words. Being around dogs and puppies truly melts my heart and puts a smile on my face all the time!!!! When I was young I had the opportunity to grow up with "Golden Retrievers," and this breed is such a wonderful, loving, gentle family dog. We had three and I always enjoyed taking them on walks around the neighborhood and spending time with them in the backyard. I'd like to mention I try very hard to keep my current dog in good health and feel it is extremely important to keep a close eye on your dog's temperament each day just to ensure they are feeling well. Just like us, sometimes they are tired or need extra attention and love. I have learned too how important regular grooming is and flea treatments so that my dog is comfortable and content. I really enjoy each dog's unique personality and zest for life. My dog's have inspired me to "get up and go," and enjoy each day!!
