Hello, my name is Rob and ive been a lover of all animals ever since i can rememeber. Animals show no anger and are bred by thier owners. I have watched a few friends dogs, both actually were cocker spaniels, and they both allowed me to stay in the home,to keep the dog company. I have no problems giving the dog a bath, if need be, and have no problems with them sleeping on the bed. I do give them kisses on foreheads, but i do try not to let them lick my face. Im not squeamish about that, but i like to stay clean. I also give them plenty of belly rubs, or wherever there euphoric spot is. My dog for example loves the belly, but especially loves the inside of her ears. I will treat the dog or cat or whatever as if they were my own, since I do know that pets arent pets, they are family. Thank you Rob
