Dogs are a man's best friend? Hm, don't think so! It can also be a woman's best friend!!! I love dogs. All kinds. I don't have a preference of breed, but I love them all! I have a Cockapoo named Apollo for about 5 years--he's a family dog and stays back home in Connecticut. Whenever we reunite, he always remembers me and gets very excited to see me. When I leave, he knows he has to prepare to say goodbye and he accepts it. I do not have allergies. I love to play and give them all the attention. I can go on longgggg walks and I don't mind cleaning up after them. I can teach/train new puppies--thought it used to be hard, but it's actually fun!
