I have been a pet owner all my life. Right now two cats and two dogs are my roommates. I have had large and small dogs and have had obedience training with them (the Jack Russel Terrier was the most stubborn). My terrier goes to work with me every day and was a key in helping me deal with the loss of my husband. I understand how important pets are. They don't judge (unless you don't give them a biscuit when they want one). They forgive easily and they bring love. Every dog is unique and I like to get to know them so they can tell me what they need. One of my dogs has a great sense of humor and one always has to be the boss.
