My last dog lived to be 18.5 and the one before was 17 so I am used to young and senior dogs both male and female. . I have had dogs in my life since I was 10 -Alsatian-Old English-Mongrel- Tibetian Terrier. Others animals include -Rabbits-Guinea Pigs-Fish-inside and out. I enjoy walking and having dogs as company. Where I live has plenty of dog walks near-by. My garden at the back is completely fenced in.
