I've had dogs all my life. I am retired so am home most all day. My Bichon died two years ago and I miss her very much. My dogs are like my other children. I'm educated as to dogs allergies, behaviors, and their need for love. The last two years of my dogs life I walked her short distances and then placed her in a stroller. My daughter owned a dog boarding business and I helped her often; sometimes she had as many as a dozen dogs. You can be sure any dog I care for is given the same care and treatment I'd give mine. Plus lots of kisses. I recently watched a dog who was epileptic and I had to administer steroids twice a day, with which I was comfortable. What's most important of all is my love of animals and the special treatment they receive from me. I would gladly take your dog with me wherever I go if you are ok with them in the car.
