Have owned dogs all my life. Current boyfriend is Jock a 13 year old Border Collie, who is walked and played with daily. Coming from a country background, I've looked after many animals, large and small over the years, including dogs, cats, ferrets, Guinea pigs, horses, sheep, goats hairy cows and poultry. Most of them were rescues or rejects. If you give love and respect to people and animals your life is rich!
