My entire life I have been fortunate enough to have canine companions! I have personally known a wide array of breeds from terriers to herding dogs and realize every dog should be treated as an individual with unique needs. No dog is too big nor small, too energetic nor too shy for me to love. I am a single working mother... so my schedule can be hectic. My seven year old son is very good and loving towards animals (he even had pet Madagascar hissing cockroaches whom he loved) but please inform me if you're uncomfortable with him tagging along to care for your critters. I look forward to having the responsibility to diligently care for your pet like I would my own four legged friends!
