i was like that.. i was made to wait for my first dog until i was 13. i was working in kennels from being 12 to 16.
when my dad agreed to my first dog i took him to obedience and apart from school i never went anywhere without him. i was 18 when i moved out and he went with me, then i got tyke as well.
i love dogs a lot and spent hours learning breeds and tempraments. my dad used to think i'd grow out of it but years later he agreed he was wrong!
i'm the crazy animal mad one of my family and i wouldn't change a thing!
