if I had my way I would have a dozen dogs and cats. as it is I get to love extra dogs and then give them back after they have wormed into my heart. we have a large male and a small male dog. along with the dog beds all over our house our little guy has decided he loves our bean bag chair too. it always makes me happy to see what they will do next. About this sitter: for me my animals are everything. we have two dogs and three cats and I can't imagine my life without them. they bring us so much joy. Why I love dog sitting my first dog was a eighteen year old jack Russell. he was a doll. but I think he must have been a hand full when he was a puppy. after him I had the most beautifully souled poodle mutt who was suffering from liver disease. but she picked out my current baby for me before she left us. Meet my pets we also have 3 cats. About my yard my yard is fenced in and is around 25x40 feet. it is a mostly flat yard. and when the rain comes we have grass. but for the dry months it gets a little brown. My experience administering medication be it pills or shots nothing bothers me. just show me how you do it so that your dog is comfortable with the way it is done.
