Being an only child, I found a lot of comfort and companionship from animals. I would always be over at my neighbors house, trying to play with and train their dog to do various tricks, go for walks and just spending quality time with them. I have dog sat a handful of times in my lifetime and each time it is such a pleasure since I do not find myself at a point in my life to get a pet of my own. Dogs can be challenging to take care of, especially if their puppies, but most things worth loving do not come easy!
