I have a dog as well!  She is the BEST friend - never talks back and always listens.  What kind of dog do you have?
I have a golden retriever. I love her so much! I bet she does communicate in her own way though!
Golden retrievers are great at communication and are very easy to train.  Have you though about training your dog to be a service dog?
Wow, I have never thought about that! That would be cool. Where do I start?
You could contact the Canine Partners for Life.  They have information regarding the different types of service types that dogs can be trained to do.
Wow, thank you so much for your help! That is great to know.
No problem.  I would love to know how if you end up getting your dog involved in service training.
Sure, thing--I will make sure to keep you posted!
Does your dog like to swim?
Yes, she really enjoys swimming in our pool! She hates when she has to get out!
I'm sure!  Does the chlorine in the water bother the dog's skin?  
No, I don't think it does! Should I worry about that? I'd hate to get her sick!
