I am a dog walker and I love dogs. I live in new york. I haven't traveled outside US. My best friend lives in Japan. I do not have any children.
I have a puppy. I am a farm wife and have 5 kids. We live in a farm. My parents are still together.
I just got call from a neighbor who wants me take her dog for a walk.  Oh.  When do you have to leave?  Where do you usually go for walks?  My puppy likes walks, but we only go out and walk around the farm. Since I live in New York, I like to take the dogs to Central Park. I have to leave tomorrow afternoon. Seems nice to live on a farm! I bet your kids love it. They do, but they don't know any different.  I actually grew up in the suburbs, so I know the difference.  The nice thing is kids like animals and wide spaces to run and play, but they don't like the work involved.  Will you ever visit your friend in Japan? That is very true. I have only lived in the city so I am not familiar with rural or suburban areas. I have never left the US because I have a fear of airplanes. Because of this, I really am not sure if I will go see her. I do miss her though. Yeah, that's definitely a big problem with travel.  My dream to fill up my passport with visas from other countries.  I've been to 10 different countries so far, but it's so expensive to travel. I bet! And to travel with kids must be a bit more challenging as well. Where have you traveled? And does your wife travel as well? Yeah.  So far, all my traveling was before i had the kids.  So it's definitely harder now because We have to get tickets for all of them! I've been to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Canada, Mexico, France, Spain, UK, Australia, and US of course. My whole family likes to travel.  Maybe your friend can take time to visit you in New York. Wow, that is incredible. If only I could get over my fear of planes, I'd love to travel as much as you. I hope my friend will visit me for sure. I forgot to ask something. Since I am a dog walker, I am dying to know what breed of puppy you have! Oh! We got a german shepherd.  He's very cute and fluffy right now.  I'm hoping the farm life with suit him well.  You could always travel by land to neighboring countries to start and work your way up.   That's a great idea! I'd also like to mention that I walk several german shepherds on a weekly basis. What a beautiful breed! They are!  Do you know have any suggestions on activities besides walking that they might like? I was just told they need daily exercise.
