Growing up, I was surrounded by many dogs. Goldens, sausage dogs, border collies, bully’s, pit mixes! You name it! My grandma’s golden retriever, baigh (bay) was my first puppy love! He was so energetic and very food motivated. I slowly learned to teach the basic tricks, and even completed a wells humane society dog training course with my grandmas dog! Slightly after that, my mother’s coworker was rehoming their brown lab, Penny! I had loved the dogs we had been around, and we got a house. I knew a dog sitting in the yard would complete everything. I swore up and down I would take care of a dog, mom could not see the love through all the slobber though. Penny, who had perfect timing, changed everything for her as she was super well trained and respectful. Penny came to stay with us for a week, while my mom secretly surveilled me to see if I was really ready for a dog. I played with her, took her on my regular walks around the trail systems, and expressed my sadness that she’d be gone or stuck in her home with dogs who didn’t like her. Since I had just shown interest in training my grandmas , my mum finally let the warm wet slobber of Penny soak her heart! Since then, I’ve met plenty more dogs, small, big, old, little, I love them all! Whether your pup is a couch hog or a energetic fluff ball, they won’t be bored with me!
