If you've ever experienced one of those people who stop you on the street to marvel at your furry friend, you probably know how I am with dogs. I'm a long-time vegetarian and absolutely love animals of all kinds, but I have a very special place in my heart for dogs. I currently have an 11-year-old Lhasa Apso/Yorkie named Carmelo and a 3-year-old Yorkie named Bentley, and in the past I've also had a Golden Retriever and a Rottweiler. I love spending time with my boys and have successfully trained them myself. Every morning, I look forward to our daily walks and playing with them either around the house or at the local park. I am available throughout the week, pretty much throughout the day because I currently work from home.
