I have a dog named Gisele in my home country through which I learnt a lot about pets. She is a very hyperactive English Pointer (mixed) that is always ready to play and cuddle. Because of her high energy levels (she requires min. 45 minutes of extreme sports), I usually take her to places where she can run around freely on a daily basis. In case your furry little friend needs to spend some energy too, there are many safe parks nearby where we can go and play. When Gisele was a puppy, she had parvovirus. She was seriously ill, so much that she rejected food & water. At the time, she had seven infusion therapies and received injections for pain each night, and slowly (but gladly) she recovered. This way I got experienced in taking care of a pup in need, as I had to feed and give water to Gisele through a syringe, massage her stomach, give pills and keep company at all times. I would be happy to take care of your little one in case it needs extra attention, too. Also, if your pet and I were to hang around in my flat, I wouldn't mind it sitting on my couch or bed. Although, if you prefer otherwise, I would respect this and not let it jump on furniture. I hope this short intro explains my experience with pets! In case you have questions, I am happy to answer.
