Information Barb K. would like to know about your pet

I like to know all the details.What your pet is used to having in detail is very important to me. What special needs they may have, ie; how do you let your dog out of the car? I had a specific way with my old dog. I believe it is best to keep the routine as close to perfect as possible, and am able to acquire that with detailed information.

A typical day

Take to the forest, lake or park, smell all the p-mail they want. Play fetch, encourage good behaviour. I have trained my dogs to play hide and seek, with a toy or myself.. Love to play with dogs. Swimming, fetching the stick or ball.....
