I grew up with a golden retriever, Sam. She was a true member of our family. When she passed away I cried more over losing her than over people I've lost in the life. I would love to have another dog but I'd like to wait until I live in a house so they have more space as well as waiting until my baby is old enough to understand about the responsibility of taking care of a pet. I also worked for a dog walking service a few years ago.
