Love dogs and all animals. More friendly, honest and loving than humans. Owned a dog most of my life. They relate well to me and I to them. Owned Afgan Hound Bouvier de flandres, dachshund, and many mixed breeds. Love and enjoyed them all. Raised many from puppies to old age. They were a part of our family. Just don't have the time to devote 100 percent of my time to them. Because like children they sometimes need ALL of you. But this, sitting, walking allows me to still enjoy them while freeing up time for other activities. And not only that, the provide fun, exercise, and they don't often talk back to you. Each one has their own unique personalities and fun things they like to do. I love exploring them.
