    Pets reflect the qualities and characteristics of their owners. A well-disciplined, good natured, friendly dog reflects an owner you can trust and feel comfortable with.

We are complex people and the different pets we own will reflect different aspects of us.

They instinctively dig nests in shady places to access cooler soil and sprawl out in the heat of the day. This make a huge mess in heavy soils, stains pavement, and plasters the dog's fur and litter the yard with dirt clods.
