I've grown up with big and small dogs since I was a kid - we had Labradors and Yorkshires terriers. I've always had a deep love for dogs and nothing makes me happier than to be surrounded by them. I have raised 2 chihuahuas on my own for the last 14+ yrs, one of which is my senior dog Pudding who I've had since he was 1. He's suffers from seizures now so I've got lots of experience administering several types of medication from liquid to pill form. My other dog, Pickles, I adopted from the shelter a few years ago and had to train her how to walk, use pee pads, etc. My dogs know all sorts of tricks from jumping through hoops, crawl, play dead, etc. While I haven't owned any cats, I've helped several friends care for theirs while they've been out of town with drop in visits cleaning their litter box and feeding them. I'm excited to meet your pets and care for them!
