I can't remember when I haven't had a dog in my life till now. My 18 yrs old Ruby who was a small mix lab passed in June and I'm going furr baby crazy without one. My dog was my therapy dog. Not in a literal sense but in my heart. I loved brushing her daily as she did as well and taking her for walks and car rides. She went everywhere I did. I loved bathing her. She did not , but was very well behaved during it and she loved to be clean after and loved the towel rub down as well. I do however get the chance to watch my sons 3 large dogs when they go overnight to concerts.My love in this case for dogs equals income for me and this is something I fully enjoy doing. Let me love your fur baby as much as you do.
