Because of my love for dogs and there love for me, all my friends have me stay with them when they go on vacation. I'm referred to as auntie or other mother. I know how to be firm with a loving touch. I try to pay close attention to the personality of the dog I'm with so not to put them in any stressful situations. I've read numbers books on animal behavior. I have also helped find homes for lost and unwanted dogs. My last dog venture was taking in 6 puppies at 5 weeks old. I helped them adjust from the lose of there mother and made sure they could eat on there own. By the time they were ready for adoption they were pad trained and very friendly.
