I've had pets since I was born, I grew up with cats and begged my parents for a dog when I was 9. I think the power point presentation I made about the benefits of getting a dog really sold them. Since then I have rescued a hedgehog who was with me for 6 years and my current dog, Renard who I adopted when I lived in NM. He is my world :) He's a very shy and sensitive husky mix with a lot of energy and special needs so I'm experienced with dogs who need meds, who are anxious or have special diets. My family's dog is a tripod golden retriever who is, like all Goldens, very friendly and easy to please, but because she is a tripod she also has certain limitations and needs that am always able to assist with. I also have experience with all of the care that comes with owning and taking care of pets, including feeding schedules, meds, baths, playing, walks, general wellness care and am very in tune and capable during an emergency.
