I've helped take care of my sister's dog from when they were puppies until their last senior days (I prefer to think they're still running around happy somewhere though). I remember the puppy problems and adorable moments of teething, playful energy, and potty training to the elderly days of medication, lots of disabilities and help needed. I've had my own baby since she was 8 weeks old and handled it all by myself. I can feed, bathe, walk, you name it! Michael has had dogs since he was 4 years old, their family’s gone through 4 generations of dogs so that speaks for itself. Dogs just love his calm demeanor (as do I :D)
