My family has owned dogs ever since I was born, including a gordon setter, a mix from the shelter, and a welsh terrier (with another one coming soon!). I don't have one of my own yet, so I miss being around a dog all of the time. When I visit my parents at home, one of my favorite things to do is to walk our dog down to the beach and throw the tennis ball for him. I also used to walk our neighbor's Lab around the neighborhood. I walk around in the nearby parks all of the time (Lafayette, Fort Mason, Crissy Field, etc.) and down by the beach and I would really like to do some of these walks with a furry buddy. I work full time during the week, but I am available on the weekends to hang out with them and tire them out with a good walk.
