I grew up with a lab/ Dalmatian mix, two cats (one long and short hair, and a husky. The Lab mix (Bandit) as he got older had issues with his hips, loss of hearing and went blind, after taking care of him for a year and a half we had him put down after his favorite meal of pork chops and cheese puffs. We adopted out the Husky, Bailey, because we kept moving around and the south was not the best environment for a dog with long hair, so my parents take care of him now, and we still visit often. While I lived in San Antonio I walked two Great Danes regularly, as well as 7 other dogs (not all at once) to pay a good portion of my school. I’m familiar with many different leashes, collars, and harnesses, and have 16 years collectively working with dogs, between shelters, dog walking, and my own dogs.
