I've had a dog for my whole life, which isn't that long I'm on my 2nd dog. My first dog was a German Shepard/pointer mix (I know weird) and he went everywhere with me. I was devastated when he died. My current dog is a corgi and she is great and generally quite fun although she is getting older now, so she sleeps a lot. I miss having a dog to run with as Bambi (my corgi) aren't running type dogs so if that type of walking is what you are looking for I"m you gal
