I have had dogs my entire life and they light up my world. I raised a beagle mix from 9 weeks old until she passed away at 6 years old. She had epilepsy so I gave her medicine twice a day. She ultimately developed disc disease and didn’t respond to any of the treatments. So sadly we decided on what was best for her which was to not suffer anymore. Also, my cat, who passed away a couple years ago, had diabetes so I have experience administering insulin shots. I now have a young dachshund/lab mix who is a total sweetheart. I am very experienced with all animals, including rodents and lizards! I've owned mice, hamsters, anoles and have cared for birds and bearded dragons. I love all animals as if they are my own! I have various references that can confirm my love for animals is not prejudiced and my ability to care for your pet will be nothing short of the best!
