I had a poodle growing up that lived until she was 17 years old. She went blind when she was 14. People kept telling me I should have her put to sleep. I could not put her down because she was my best friend. Instead of putting her down, I kept my furniture the same and made sure everything was put up so she could still get around. I still get choked up when I think of how much love I received from her. It took me a lot of years before I could have another pet but eventually, I did. We now have a Yorkie Poo named Willow who loves to play with other animals. She is still a puppy. We are busy training her to a responsible pet. My fiance Scott and I live in a four-bedroom home in Sartell. I teach evening classes and Scott is an engineer who works days. Our goal would be to make sure your pet enjoys their stay away from home and would be as comfortable as possible. We will maintain any schedules you may have and make sure your pet gets lots of love during your time apart.
