In my 28 years in this world, I have never been without a pet dog. Dogs seem to love you and fill a place in your heart that sometimes humans just can't quite fill. All throughout high school I worked at a dog-boarding/doggy daycare facility. This job taught me responsibility, hard work, and allowed me to further understand and learn about each dog breed and their personalities. I was responsible for taking care of the overnight dogs, walking dogs, feeding dogs and giving any medications, and helping out with doggy daycare sessions. Currently I have two 4 year old black mouth curs that are quite a handful but continuously make me laugh and smile. I believe that all animals should be treated with the respect and love they deserve. **I have also had guinea pigs as pets for many years so don't be afraid to contact me if you need someone to watch your little pig for a few days!
