I grew up with a half Dalmatian, half black lab who lived to be 15. We grew up together. My family and extended family are all pet lovers-dogs and cats primarily. I have watched the pets of my family's friends. The pets and I always have a great time. I love to play, go on walks, snuggle. I am definitely an animal lover.
