I grew up with a grandfather who had a service dog for his medical condition and from a young age I was fascinated with dogs because of it. The way she could smell his blood sugar levels and alert him and constantly be loyal and obedient to him just amazed me. People are pretty amazing, but dogs are inspiring. I not only learned how to treat a dog to gain the best companionship from one, but also how to be a good leader and caretaker. I also grew up with a family dog in my home (picture of me as young girl with my dog, Shyla). She was a gentle, loving, sweet dog who was given to us after her previous owner mistreated her and she was removed from her home and put into ours. Beyond that, my family has multiple cats that mostly remained outside but were typically snuck into the home by me and my siblings (my poor Mom loved them but has bad allergies to cats). In short, I have learned a lot through experience, observation, and inquiry and I would love to shower your pet with the attention and love that they deserve.
