A: Greyhound
Q: Which breed did you grow up with?
A: My family had a large mix of dog breeds. We've had multiple Rottweilers, a German Shepherd, a Portuguese Water Dog, and a Coton de Tulear. My extended family has always had Poodles though so I've spent a lot of time with them as well! The dog I currently have now is actually my first mixed breed. I love getting to see how the personalities of each breed I suspect he is come out in different ways!
Q: Tell us about the pets that you live with now?
A: I have a 1-and-a-half-year-old Golden Retriever Husky mix named Arlo. He is extremely goofy and loves attention! He loves snuggling, going on hikes, and playing with his dog friends or by himself. I also have a 4-year-old Ragdoll cat named Finnegan. He is extremely spicey! He loves rummaging and finding new places to explore but also loves to cuddle (especially in the morning).
