im 38 and totally adore my dog iv had her since she was eight weeks old and she is now almost thirteen, i have a bad back due to an injury some twelve years ago so i can no longer work for an employer i dedicate all of my time to helping people and looking after my family and of coarse my loyal hairy friend. my best friend is twenty years older than me and her and my dog are also best friends, and share the same name which is fun when we are out walking them.
