I have taken care of both cats and dogs for five years, I am an owner of a tuxedo cat who was diagnosed with toxoplasmosis, worms, and feline covid. He also needed stomach surgery before the age of two months (he had a pink spot on his belly when we adopted him). Five years and a lot of vet visits later, he is now happy, healthy, and charismatic! in terms of dogs, while I have not had the pleasure of adopting one myself; I have taken care of my sisters cockapoo on and off for the last five years. He is super loving and friendly, also very energetic to say the least. I have always loved him no matter how hyper he is, and have learned that when you meet a dog where they are at, you gain an appreciation and respect for them!
