Don't dogs and puppies put everyone in a better mood? I am a firm believer in animal rights, so unfortunately, working 9-5 with an hour long commute doesn't give me the time I'd like to devote to a dog of my own. I have been around animals my whole life, having dogs and cats since I was born and a horse for the last ten years! For the last year and a half, my roommate had a young, playful dog named Pete that I helped take care of on a regular basis. Pete quickly became a close companion, and after recently relocating to this area I've really missed my buddy. I love hiking and being outdoors, and I would love to have a four-legged friend to accompany me on evening and weekend adventures or walks! Although I do work Monday-Friday, I am absolutely willing to sit 7 days a week!
