We got our family dog when I was 10, after years of my mom fighting it. She brought me to local breeders, puppy training class, and dog shows in hopes I would no longer want a dog around. As you can probably guess — we got the opposite result! I got to grow up with and take care of our pug Rocco, and now that I’m on my own, I can’t wait to have my own dog. It doesn’t make sense financially right right now, but am ready to provide love and care for your pets until it does!
