I've walked my cousin's dog, a fluffy Samoyed, every Wednesday and Friday religiously for the past two years while she was in college. I'd always wanted a dog so this was was the perfect gig. Throughout the past couple years however I began to understand why mother had never allowed us to get a dog -they're a lot of work! But there's no doubt in my mind having a relationship with a dog enriches your life. Similar to a child, who's innocent / curious about the world and still wants to explore, sniffing every blade of grass, and leaving no stone unturned, having her company was a blessing and i'm hoping to do something similar for a busy individual now that my cousin has graduated.
