Dogs are not so different from humans - all living beings thrive on positive energy and caring engagement. I grew up with standard poodles with very different personalities, one with extreme separation anxiety and the other so laid back I would climb on his back as if he were a horse! A bit about myself: During the day I am a graduate student of music at New York University, where I divide my time between teaching and writing. Both of these activities tend to keep a person indoors, which makes getting outside so important for my daily routine. With company no less!. While I don't have any pets at the moment, I thrive the company of animals and so am looking forward to meeting yours!
