I had a lab for years and I loved her. She has passed and I don’t have a doggie anymore. I have a baby kitten who’s a little cougar who I take on hikes with me. I have helped someone in Alaska with their chubby baby Reba. I got her going from barely doing one mile hikes to multiple miles and swimming. Her mom didn’t believe me until I showed her pictures. I love dogs I just can’t own one currently with my schedule. I am a firefighter and gone for a couple of days so it wouldn’t be fair for a fur baby so let me borrow your doggy and take them on beach or mountain hikes.
