I'm 41 years old and have never been in a house without a dog for more then a year between dogs. I grow up help with the dogs and playing with dogs. Over the years I've lived with and help taken care or taken care of a Miniature Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, Yorkie and a Yorkie/Maltese mix. I love being around dogs I adore them all. Current have a 1 year month old Sheltie, who I adore. Spending time with mine is the best part of my days. Very few days of the month that I'm not available as I don't work, But do have appointments that I have to take care of several time a month. I have more experience with small and medium dogs.
