I don't meet too many dogs that don't like me, and if they don't, there is probably something wrong with your dog. I always let a dog sniff my hand if they are shy about meeting me and from there I usually pet them to let them know I am now their friend and from there our friendships usually blossom into something great. Typically, my day consists of answering emails, writing invoices, and doing design work on the computer, which is all done from inside my home. There is a small fences in backyard, that even the most crafty dog could not sneak out of. I am right next to City Park, for the after lunch walks. Most dogs love me, as well their owners do too.
