My name is Susie. I am a school teacher. I love seeing kids learn. I have a dog. I enjoy walking and walk at least once a day. I try not to eat unhealthy food. I love wine. I drink beer. I bought a Merlot. I like Merlot. I like Lagers. I live in Detroit. I like sliders from a small brewery with food nearby. World War 2 documentaries are my favorite to watch. I teach in a American history class. I also teach economics and an elective at times, but I mostly teach history. I love history. I think small dogs are stubborn. I have no experience with sheepdogs. I think german shepherds are good dogs. I don't have a cat.
I am old and retired. I used to be a fit gym teacher. I walk to stay active. I love cheeseburgers. I love war documentaries. I do not drink wine. I drink beer. I like Lagers. I live in Denver Colorado and have never been to Detroit. I live in a condo. I like seeing World War 2 documentaries. I like to go on walks with my wife. I volunteer at the dog shelter. I am thinking about getting a dog. I am uncertain about large dogs. I like Shetland Sheepdogs. I am open minded for dog breeds. I want a dog so I can exercise. I am a veteran.
Have you found a dog yet? I keep volunteering, still haven't decided on the right one. You just have a feeling sometimes. Although I could take home half of them, they're awesome little spirits.  With your volunteering I bet you fall in love with a different dog each day.  Yes. The dogs take longer to socialize with, the cats are happy with 10 minutes of lap time. Maybe we'll volunteer at the same shelter someday. Hahah unlikely with how far apart we live. What do you do at the shelter? I do a few things, but socialization is my favorite part. The dogs are like springs when they are out on a leash, after being boxed up. My arms get a good work out. Will you ever volunteer at the pet shelter? I want to but I never know where to start. I wonder if I could take my own dog with me. Good question. Probably varies depending on the shelter. Thing is, your dog might want to take home a shelter dog too! I probably would. I could see myself wanting to take all of them home. Well maybe not the little ones.  You do have those preferences. Maybe some day, you will cross paths with just the right small dog and think, hey, there is variety! I respect your feelings though.  They just seem so hard to train. I don't want a dog that can't be potty trained, you know what I mean? I understand what you're saying. I've had different experiences, depends a lot on the care giver too. Our dogs are only as trainable, as we are.
