I love dogs, and I treat them with the utmost respect. I have two dogs of my own which is why I cannot sit at my house. I have had dogs since I was a baby. As I got older my grandmother would fly me to Arizona to watch her dogs while she traveled. This is where my experience of actually caring for dogs began. I would stay for about a week at a time and take care of the dogs. Her dogs are very high maintenance and my grandmother has them on a very tight schedule. They wake up at 5 require breakfast and medication, and then a light lunch at noon and dinner at 3 pm. It was very good experience for me to be flexible and accommodating. I can be flexible for every dog, if they are lazy mellow dogs, great. If they are energetic playful dogs that is also great! I currently have one of each, one of my dogs loves to sunbath and the other loves to play all the time.
