I adore animals, I don't think I ever lived without an animal in my house. My neighbor/friend has a pit bull mixed with American pit bull terrier named shadow. I watch him a few times a month when she goes to visit with her family upstate. I feed him, give him water, shake off his pet bed and I walk him 3 times a day. I previously owned dogs myself, white chihuahua named snowball and a Maltese named Boris.
