I've had dogs ever since I was a child. I currently have two, a 5 yr. old male mutt and a 16+ yr. old female Wiener, both rescued dogs. I am very patient so I took some time training my dogs, nothing over the top though enough for them to learn their potty times and the "sit" and "wait" commands. I have watched friends' pets in the past, experienced with both dogs and cats. I absolutely enjoy evening and night walks with my dog, while I find it relaxing he finds it adventurous. Whenever I have to visit family or friends I usually hang out with the pets of the household! From the smallest breed to the largest, I feel that life would be very blue without these canines!
