I use to live on a dog farm where we had large fenced field about average of 30 dogs. I mainly cleaned, bathed, cared for the puppies and spent time with them. I have had 4 dogs in my life that were mine. I recently got my own place and my last dog pasted away at age 16 old age he was a black and auburn lab and chow mix. I also owned a Pomeranian, blue healer mix, and a bosten terrer. I currently own one cat and live with two roommates. I miss having a dog in my life and hope i get another one soon. I hope i can help you with your love one and make your life easier.
