Starting in the 3rd grade, my first dogs were 4 Rottweilers (at the same time), and following that, a Cocker Spaniel, and then an Irish Wolfhound/Lab mix and a Labra-doodle. I would take them hiking, camping, and swimming frequently. Dogs take a very serious part in my family. I am an aunty to 3 dogs and a godmother to a very sweet and high energy Pitbull. I love all dogs but am particularly wild about larger dogs. I don't currently have any pets at the moment because my work availability (until recently) would not have made it possible for a dog to get the attention she or he would deserve but, for now, I would be overjoyed to get my doggy fix by taking care of those who need an extra friend to play with until their parents come home.
