Breed Of Dogs
When I was a child, I had a beagle. I love beagles. When I married, and we both worked, I had miniature long haired dachshunds…they were amazing little fellas.And now, that I am home and my husband is home battling MS, we have 3 large dogs, 2 black labs and 1 golden retriever.The right breed at the right time in your life is the secret to happiness with your chosen four legged friend.
