I have had a dog all my life and at one point I had two dogs at once. We have always treated our dogs like family since all of them were puppies until grown. I grew up with parents who took my dogs on walks every day and now it has become a habit to walk my dogs everyday. I have always owned big dogs but I still love the little guys. I am a teacher so I get out early in the day and in the summer I only teach half day summer school: 8:30-11:45. I am always up early so I am available before school as well. I love to be outdoors and playing or running with dogs is my favorite kind of exercise!
