My name is Matt and I am a divorced guy, live on northwest Iowa at my house with my female Cocker Spaniel, Sophie. Dogs truly are man's best friend. She is the only living thing, outside of Jesus Christ, who has never let me down. She is always there when I get home, listens to me, follows me around, wants to play, is just the perfect pet for me in my life right now. I lost a child in January 2007 in an auto accident when I was driving, so I have a lot of guilty feelings in my heart right now.
