Dog AND cat lover: I am a responsible, mature, health-conscious, affectionate, caring man. I love interacting with dogs and cats, not just having them in the house. I have many years of experience and knowledge I have gained from taking care of animals, observation, and reading. I have a cat and a dog who are lifetime buds and snuggle together, come up on the sofa with me. My dog licks my cat's ears every day. I may be a closet dog whisperer, I have typically had a great rapport with dogs I have met. My household is peaceful and gentle, no craziness, just chilling or playing (or eating, of course). My dog and cat have learned to listen and respond based on loving treatment, no negative reinforcement training. Did I say I love my pets? ☺
