I spend a lot of time at my local dog park with my own dog

When I am home from school, I spend a lot of my free time at our local dog park. I have gotten to know many owners and their dogs, some of who I dog sit for. I also host a lot of dog parties at my house. I love playing with and being around dogs, many people have complimented my ability of getting along and playing well with them.
