I am very loving and own my own dog,I also watch my family members' dogs occasionally. I also talk to my dog while walking her. Her name is Bailey and she is a 7 year old Boston Terrier. I have also loved dogs,and when I retired from the military after 25 years one of the first things I did was go buy a dog. My dog sleeps in my bed with me,and she loves playing fetch and tug of war. I live close to a park,that is a great dog-walking park with a creek of running water in it so if your likes water it can get water to cool off and get a drink. There are also plenty of trees for shade if your dog needs to stop and rest.
