I am the girl at the party talking to the pet! I honestly can’t walk by an animal with out saying hello to it. I have been this way since I was. Little girl. I have been involved in animal rescue my whole life , in one way or another. We have always had at least one dog. And I am auntie to all our friends pets. I understand that every dog is different and each one has different styles of play and walking. They will be able to stop and smell the flowers, or trees, or anything else they want to when we go for a stroll. No dog is too big or too small, too young or too old! I have worked with them all!
