I'm a stay a home mom to a seven month old so I can ensure a very open schedule. I previously owned a Greyhound for five years and since she was a racing dog, she took a lot of special care to be accustomed to living in a home. She saw a very skiddish and docile dog so I had to learn how to deal with some behavioral issues. I can handle the basics such as ear cleaning, nail clipping, brushing, and bathing. My love for birds has helped me develop more patience because of the long period of time it takes to develop trust with them. Since I do not have any cats or dogs, your playful pal will be receiving a lot more attention.
