I've had dogs since I was a kid and made Dog Care my responsibility since my mother worked night shift and the care and responsibility was completely up to me at a very young age. I've defiantly been blessed to have had several dogs in my life and all of them have lived a long time. Newest family member just turned one and the puppy phase is very detailed oriented. She came into our lives after our oldest passed away at 19. So from young to old I've been able to care from them all.
