I have been a Maltese mama for 6 years now but I have been a lifelong lover of animals. My knowledge on how to care for and help a dog flourish has only increased since I first brought my Lorelei home due to my dedication as a pet parent and my four-year long experience as a PetSmart employee. My mom still swears I should have gone to veterinary school because of the attention I give my two pups, both mentally and physically. I love taking long walks with my dogs so they can explore the world outside of their backyard and researching new ways to mentally stimulate them. Through my employment with PetSmart, I have learned how to detect signs of stress but also how to stimulate different breeds and personalities. On top of all of the tips, tricks, and healthy habits for dogs I have picked up on, my love for cuddles has only strengthened. And it is still my favorite thing of all.
