I never met a dog I did not like. I have had dogs most of my life as pets. Friends and family nornally think of me as a sitter when they have plans to go out of town. In my house we have a doggie door for easy access to fenced backyard large enough to run and play chase or ball. If your dog want to go for a walk around my neighborhood we have a trail behind our house that opens to local city park. My mid size dog "Sweetie" is a sheltie/blue heeler mix and loves to help train dogs to hunt for squirrels. She is a mother hen to our 2 cats and 6 chickens that are kept in their chicken run. She is always being their protector.
