Happily a dog owner since I was a pre teen. I have allows had a pet in my household. Owning a pet was a testament to my being responsible as a young adult. I was fully in control of grooming, meal and playtime with all of pets growing up. Vet visits we left to the parents. Some dog breeds I have owned were Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, Rottweiler and currently a Chihuahua mix and a cat. Caring for animals with your home is great responsibility. I am very capable of handling and caring for puppies starting at 6 weeks old in addition to keeping up with my lovely cat. Playtime and exercise is essentially to the well being of our furry loved ones which are some of the aspects I enjoy.
