There were always dogs in my home as a child and that experience has built a special bond between myself an our canine friends. I've been blessed to care for the tiniest chihuahua to the largest Great Dane and am great with all temperaments. I've personally cared for senior dogs with special needs (medications, physical therapy, special diets) as well as pups with physical needs. I had two dachshunds myself. One who was 15 when she passed and was a lifelong companion. She required steroids shots for her swollen discs, daily medication, and was a very ornery, but lovely, old lady. The younger was a young buck who suffered an attack and required surgery and pins in his shoulder plus ongoing physical therapy. He was quite the ball of energy so he required extra attention to ensure he did not over exert himself and cause further injury. For a hyper dog, I successfully crate trained him solely for this purpose. I am available full time at my home all week and have a flexible schedule to make visits throughout the day.
