I have always been an animal lover as I grew up on 24 acres just outside of Canberra and now have three pups as a part of the family. They're what you would call small to medium sized but with large personalities. My best pal is probably, Alfie a Lhasa Apso. His breed used to be used by Tibetan monks to warn them of intruders (I love a good factoid) so he is very loudly spoken.
The other two are Harry and Potter (my family are big Potterheads). Since we have three I usually take turns taking each out for a walk so we're all a bit less stressed but definitely one of my favourite activities of the day.
I'd love to branch out and meet some other pups and pets that I can take out for a walk or care for on occasion (as long as you don't tell my pups about the pet affair)....
