I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. We've had Burmese and Tabby cats, a Shih Tzu cross and a Labrador. I love playing with pets, and giving them of affection and attention. I'm a fairly active person, going for a walk/run most days, so would love to be able to take a canine companion with me. My family's dog, Ari, has arthritis in his elbows (even though he's only 3!), so I've missed being able to have a running buddy!...
