To me Dogs are family. I’m an uncle to 3 dogs and great uncle to two dogs. I grew up with Schnauzers. I have taken care of friends’ dogs when they have gone out of town cats too. I don’t just go in let them out feed them and leave. I love to interact and play with them. Snuggle and pet them and give them attention. I check to make sure they have everything thing they need. I talk to dogs like they are people but in a voice or tone that is playful, not my real voice. I will follow your instructions accurately. I consider my friends’ dogs to be my friends too. I don’t mind being jumped on licked in the face at all.
