Growing up, my family owned pets of various kinds; fish, rabbits, birds, and dogs were consistently in the mix. My love for dogs began when I was 6 when my family brought home a black and white Portuguese water dog. She had an amazing 15 years with us, and after her passing that summer, they quickly purchased another Portie to fill the void. 3 months later, my parents bought yet ANOTHER dog in the form of a Wire Fox Terrier. Needless to say, I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I've taken care of puppies and senior dogs alike in all shapes and sizes. I'm great with walks, playing fetch, and socializing around other dogs.
