My family and I always have been raised around animals. We've owned parakeets, iguana's, a bearded dragon, dogs and 1 cat, not at one time but throughout my life. I have love for all animals, my experience with dogs has been amazing I use to teach my dogs different tricks and commands. We both got our daily dose exercise which included jogging and walking and occasional car rides. All of my dogs LOVED being groomed and dog massages its like that was the icing on the cake for them. Our cat Chloe was a rescue cat that is our little chatter box and is an absolute joy to be around. I love when she lets me pick her up an rug her belly. She gives me her happy pup therefore I know that I'm doing a good job. If may animals could talk I would guarantee they would tell you that there just as happy as I am that we were able to have a great connection.
