I am our doggo was a 9 yr old Double layered German Shepard. He was my brother, best buddy, and my biggest stress buster. He passed away last year because of a chronic kidney disease. I enjoy every single thing about it. Taking care of dogs is no different than taking care of kids or babies, you have to give them as much attention and always be ready to play! Dogs bring lots of joy and happiness to our lives, and taking care of them, playing with them, and loving them is the perfect way for us to pay them back. Thats the exact thing i will do during your dog's stays with me! I enjoy playing with them because I love seeing a happy dog. Seeing them running around wagging their tails is a great feeling of accomplishment. Most important of all is love, always give them lots of love just as much as they give us!
