I've had dogs my whole life, until recently. Apartmention living isn't a cool life for big dogs, and big dogs are my favorite. I received my certificate for veterinary assisting when I was 16. I worked at both Petsmart and Petco as a young adult. I always though I would finish veterinary school, but found the euthanasia aspect a bit too much for me. And id probably die of a broken heart if i couldnt save every sick animal. I now have 2 beautiful cats whom I love very much, but I do miss the company of a pup. I'd love to keep your pup company when you're away :)
