I work with Furry Friends part-time at night, when I feed and play with the fosters and boarders in the shop! I also own three wonderful dogs myself (a Gordon Setter, Keeshond/Pom mix, and a Long-Haired Chihuahua). I have owned dogs since I was about 2 years old (a Gordon Setter, Border Collie, and then the three listed above) and I take care of my current ones every day! The dog that I personally own, the Keeshond/Pom mix, is very intelligent and likes to play tricks on people, so I can and have handled dogs who are quite smart and know how to get away with things. I have also worked with puppies in the past that were at least 3 months or older. We recently had a litter of 5 puppies at Furry Friends that I have been able to take care of each night that I worked.
