I grew up around 2 different dogs, one large Shepard and one medium Bichon-Frise and they were absolutely my best friends throughout my childhood! In college, my boyfriend and I had a cute little terrier <3 Since college I have lived with a variety of dogs including a border collie named Elliot, a pitbull named Newton and australian cattle dog named Sitka, each for either about a year at a time, helping with walking, playing with toys and snuggles-galore!! I've doggysat my mother's Bichon/Shizu, Mia, several times over the years and sat my neighbor's Pit Bull, Nudie, sat my friends Pit Bull, Badger & Clover! For the last 2 and a half years I adopted a 8 year old dog named Goose, he was a catahoula shepherd lab mix! He passed in July and I miss him every single day :0( <3
