I previously owned 2 dogs, one chihuahua/terrior and one lab/german shepard. I had them both for over a year, unfortunately did not have enough money to provide for them. They chihuahua was 3 years old and the lab was 3 months old when I first adopted them. With the baby I grew more experience by potty training her, and cleaning up messes, training in general, and of course taking her for long walks since she grew so big. I had also taken her to finish her shots. When I first got her she had a cold so I have experience giving medication as well.
