I adopted my first dog, Elwood, when I was 12 years old. We were inseparable. He had behavioral and physical health issues - anxiety, chronic ear infections, and hypothyroidism. Over time I learned his emotional triggers and tried to work with him on them throughout his life. By the time he was 13 years old, he couldn’t go on walks anymore, so we would just hang out together in the yard. I gave him his thyroid pills twice a day for 10 years. Because of the wonderful experience I had being his owner, I’m comfortable with dogs and cats that struggle with anxiety. I’ve also taken care of few-week old kittens, by bottle feeding them and giving them medication (and I still have those kittens now, 8 years later!) I always want to adopt more pets, but I already have my hands full with 4! I would love to meet your pets and take care of them like my own :)
