I love all animals, we always had dogs when I grew up and they were always dedicated to my mother, they followed her everywhere so I really didn't get close to them.
Then our kids had dogs and I still didn't get too close to them.
After the kids moved out on their own we got our first Schnauzer and she turned out to be my best friend, she followed me everywhere. later we got Daisy and Perry and I found PetTalk. That was when I learned so much about dogs, rescue, the plight of animals, puppies, different breeds, mutts, cats, different kinds of pets etc. etc. I credit PetTalk with waking me up to all of this.
In our community I try to make people aware of rescue and adoption as much as possible.
We did have a cat at one time and she disappeared, I loved her very much but to be honest I am still a dog person.
