I have spent many years owning my own pets and watching other's pets. I have worked at kennels and vet clinics. I trained as a vet tech for 6 months at a clinic in Texas. I love all sorts of animals and wouldn't trade my time with them for anything. From walking them, playing with them, bathing them, or just hanging around the house with animals, I enjoy every aspect of animals. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 rabbits. We live on 143 acres and most of that is wooded area with hiking trails and streams. Any dog coming to visit can enjoy the outdoors and even come to the stream on the property for a swim, if that's the sort of thing they would enjoy.
