My best friend growing up was a Rat Terrier named Buttons. I was the Director of Texas Purebred Rescue for 30yrs, and have belonged to multiple kennel clubs as a board member. I was a certified AKC Canine Good Citizenship Evaluator for 12yrs and have certified multiple dogs through Therapy Dogs International (TDI) and visited hospitals, nursing homes, schools and day care with my dogs. I’m also a member of the Taylor County Sheriff’s Riding Posse Club. Why I love dog sitting I have been owned by dogs since birth and my best friend growing up was a Rat Terrier named Buttons. In high school I retrained a black lab seeing-eye dog, Jasper, whose only fault was that he was scared of water. Took a few mths but he finally got over his fear and would work just fine when it rained :) My experience administering medication As a vet tech from April 1993- May 2013, I am more than comfortable with giving any medicines. My specialty is dealing with bite dogs (several that even bite their owners regularly) and helping the pet to overcome whatever anxieties are causing the biting issues so that their temperament problems can be resolved and they are easier for any medical staff to deal with.
