Hi there! As an owner of 4 dogs (I've had/fostered 7 dogs in my life to date) with all completely different personalities, I would like to say I'm an expert of bonding with dogs of sorts. I've never lived without a dog; I've grown up with them my whole life. I play with my dogs outside every day and they are always ready to nap by the end of it. I love all dogs, of all shapes and sizes! During the summer I'm pretty much available for most days, outside of the days that I have work (as a pharmacy technician). I don't even have to meet your dog to know that I already love them :) (P.S. I also have a cat/love cats so if you have any that wouldn't ever bother me.)
