I have my own little (medium 65 lbs) girl who has had lots of love ever since she was a 4 month old pup. Raising her has been an exciting journey from training, feeding (home made treats or the occasionally cooked meals), and my favorite camping with nature walks. Because of her I have been more prepared for the randomness she surprises me with, and with that it has become important to learn about the do's / don'ts, emergency medical care (ingestion / boo boo's), and the proper way to treat your family member in learning how to lean and love this world they feel happy to be in. What I have learned its like having a little kid of your own with the mind of a 3 year old.
