I always have had dogs in my life, and took care of three generations, mother from 1 month old until death 12 years later, daughter and grand daughter. When my son goes on vacation I also take care of his frenchy. I feed them, walk them and give them love and care, for me is very important to talk to them, make them understand that you care about them, and also go as volunteer to human society of greater Miami in North Miami Beach, I live closed by and all my friends have dogs, I always tell them to go to Human Society of Greater Miami and adopt one pet, there are so many without a home and care, I believe God give us this creatures for our own good.
