I'm one of those people that looks at dogs first before I look at the person, and I'll have a little conversation as I walk past! I've had dogs all my life, from Great Danes to a little Papillon cross. I've been pet sitting for my friends and colleagues for some time. I have the flexibility to work from home and work is only 5 minutes away anyway. We have lots of beautiful places to walk and explore for those pooches that are more active....
