I wanted a dog for as long as I could talk, maybe even before then. My parents didn't think we they had the time for a dog, and my begging did not work so I spent time dog sitting neighbors' and friends' dogs to make up for the fact that I did not have one. During summers I would walk and dog sit their dogs, feed them, play with them, love them as if they were my own. I eventually got my own dog, not too long ago, who I love and cherish and luckily knew how to take care of due to my experience with other dogs. After a couple years off from dog sitting other people's dogs, I'd like to start up again for the summer.
