I grew up with dogs and after doing many dog/house sits for friends who were going out of town on holidays I decided I wanted dogs in my life more. I am an entrepreneur and work from home a lot so this gives me the freedom to have a dog with me during the day. I actually love the interruptions and reasons to get up from my computer and go for a walk! My condo is pet friendly and we have a big park nearby to go for walks to. My condo is an artist work live space so its wide open with a high ceiling so we keep each other company all the time. I can also take my dog friends with me on errands in my car as I have a hatchback and they jump right in and love going for a drive with me.
