I grew up in Indiana and have had animals my entire life. I have had small dogs as well as large dogs. I love to walk and having the company of a great dog would make it that much better!! I love playing with the dogs (catch/fetch and tug of war are my favorites), giving them over and above attention and watching how happy they are. It totally makes it all worthwhile. There is NOTHING better than cuddling up with a dog and giving him/her a belly or back scratch. I watch their tails wag while they smile. Seeing their happy face when you first engage with them is absolutely unbelievable. My experience with my own dogs has been very rewarding. Feeding them, giving them treats, brushing and cuddling them makes me very happy. I would love the opportunity to be part of your fur babies lives (feline or canine) and share my passion.
