I currently am a dog mom of a handsome Chihuahua (6 years old) and a sweet German Shepherd (4 years old). They've been a part of the family since they were puppies. My experience with animals comes from the great care that I give to my pets in walking them, sometimes for hours, training them and caring for them.
