I have had a dog in my home sleeping in my bed since I was in my twenties. I remember hearing that we have the world but our pets only have us. So I believe making their lives full of happiness and fun! They are our babies! I now only have one dog. Cody recently passed away this March at 20 years old. He was a three time bringer backer to the shelter on the day I took him home. "My trouble pup. He's was the best pup in the world. I have a miniature Pincher mix named Molly who LOVES EVERYONE! I don't keep my dogs in kennels but I always have one in my house for when friends bring over new dogs so they can all meet. I have had many other dogs stay in my home. I have had mutts of all kinds, boxers & yes even Pitbulls. I always want to do a meet beforehand so the dog is not scared. I do not smoke.
