Pet care experience

Hi. I have had dogs all my life since early child hood of many types - German Shepherd, Beagle, Basset, Great Dane, etc. Also cats, a skunk, squirrel and once a Red Tailed Hawk that had been injured as a young bird. My daughters, wife and I most recently had a beloved Portuguese Water Dog we named Shakespeare. He was the runt of a litter out of a champion show dog, Olivia. We loved him but he passed away due to a stroke at the age of 15 years. We miss him terribly but do not feel the time is best to take on another dog emotionally for our daughter, so providing love and 2nd family for your dog would be a great option. Hope you agree with us. Your pet gets as second family of Dad, Mom and daughter to shower she or he or they with love, scratches, rubs permissible treats!

Howard and Kathleen gave our dog tender loving care for two weeks while we were away on vacation. She had visited with them for a day here and there, so we knew she would be well cared for. But she's a nervous little pup who's very attached to my husband and me, so we weren't sure how she would do on a longer stay. Once we saw photos of her curled up on Howard's chest and nuzzling into couch pillows and even laying right next to another dog (definitely a first!), we knew we could rest easy that she was also having a great summer vacation. They definitely deserve the highest possible rating for excellent care - and wonderful updates and photos!!
