I grew up on an island and had neighbors with four dogs. Spent almost my entire childhood in their backyard playing and 'chillin' with the pups. They always had foster dogs coming and going, and dealt with many young pups, and old ones. During this time I also spent a good bit of my summers volunteering at the Franklin County Humane Society helping with anything they needed. I love to jog with a friend, and always love to give a good scratch. I personally do not own a dog, but did adopt a cat about a year ago. She was a little black short hair cat, that I found under a bridge. Her name is Dirtsworth, or Dirt for short. She now lives comfortably with my mother and father and even has an entire bedroom to herself - living quite a luxurious life.
