I have always loved dogs. Anytime I get to meet a new dog, it becomes the highlight of my day. A feisty little Yorkie named Max was my first dog when I was a kid. My daily schedule was based around ensuring he got at least 3 walks a day. As a kid I bathed, brushed, and trained him myself. Running with my dogs has always been a priority- to make sure they get their exercise and play time. I spent a lot of time reading about dog breeds, and how to care for them. It's always been something I'm really interested in. I also worked with a dog groomer for a short period of time. I had assisted with the delivery of my grandmother's little girl's puppies and it is one of my favorite experiences I have had- one of my favorite stories to tell. Friends have asked me to stay in their house while they're away to watch their dogs. I love bonding with them and being involved in their care.
