I have had at least one dog my entire life for as long as I can remember, and wish to have one the rest of my life as well. I grew up with a black lab named Jenny, and she was the life of the family. She was so sweet and so hard not to love. My sister then came home with a little Pomeranian poodle, pom-poo if you will, named Louis. He is old, sleeps all day and still will find time to play his little heart out. Dogs can change a sad day into a happy day in a single heartbeat.
