I've grown up loving dogs, reading my collection of books about dog heroes and about dog breeds (I had memorized just about every breed mentioned in the book along with their behavioral characteristics). I was a part of my older brother's successful dog treat making business in elementary school, and in middle school my family finally got a dog of our own - a little Maltese named Caleb - who I adored to care for. I also used to help my aunt take care of her dogs, taking them on regular walks for her and feeding the when she was away and they couldn't go with her. I regularly walked my neighbor's dog when I lived near my parents and was the go-to dog sitter for other friends. I am comfortable with and love dogs of all shapes and sizes - small, medium, or large, and can't wait to meet yours!
