I grew up with dogs most of my life of different sizes and ages. I don't have any dogs now because I recently moved to Vancouver from abroad and my building doesn't allow pets :( My first dog was the family Yorkshire terrier, Rosie, who we got when I was about 5 years old and she was 3. Sadly she passed away at the ripe old age of 18. Since then we have had a husky named Bear (temporarily) a Jack Russell terrier named Taylor and her recent adopted companion and best friend, Toby, an older Japanese Spitz. Taylor an Toby are alive and well back home with my family. I can drop-in just feed and walk your dog or spend the nigh, play with them and keep them company, depending on your and your dogs needs.
