"Such short lives our dogs have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day" Hi, my name is Celia. I have a dog of my own, and her name is Icey. My favorite part of the day is taking her out to play Frisbee, or going to the creek to get a little dirty. (: I went to school for 2 years studying in Vet Tech. I feel that gives me a bit of an advantage with my own dog, because I know what to look for and how to treat a dog. Although I live in an apartment, my dog, as well as yours gets out to use the restroom every hour (no potty mistakes here) and out to play or walk for 1 hour each day.
