I have had three dogs in my lifetime. My first dog was a basset hound named Gracie and she lived to be 10 years old. She had lots of allergy issues so we were always on our toes with her. She took pain medicine for her last couple years of life. I am very good with handling dog medicine, I did if for a while with Gracie and she lived a long and wonderful life till the day she passed. I now have two dogs Toby and Ollie, Toby is a mutt we rescued from being abused and Ollie is a Pitbull and Lab mix that we also rescued. My family rescued Ollie as a tiny first born puppy and we have trained him to be the best dog we could ever ask for. Both of our dogs are very friendly to people and other animals as well. I love my dogs dearly and my dogs sleep with me every night in my bed. I also would like to add that I am very good with sketchy dogs who are scared and a little on the meaner side. My aunt has a Rottweiler that can be very aggressive but when i take care of him he always listens and I have never had a problem with a dog not liking me. I have always loved dogs and would love you take care of yours.
