I have had at least one dog in my house for my entire life, and have always been the primary caretaker. I got my own puppy when I was about 8 (In my profile picture) and she is the happiest and healthiest dog I have ever had! I have babysat neighbors and friends dogs in the past and always treat them with the same amount of love as do to my own. I always make sure they are fed and have gone on a walk before anything else. Every morning, I wake up at 8am to take my dog (Bella) out for a walk, then I feed her right after we get back. I wait at most three hours before I take her out for her afternoon walk, then she usually rests for a couple hours. I feed her at exactly 4:30 everyday then take her on two more walks before bed. I now am a student at Cal State San Marcos studying biology. I go to class in the mornings so I have more than enough time in the day to take care of a pup. I have a two story house with a fenced backyard perfect for any dog.
