I've had dogs all my life, always fully vetted. I have taken care of puppies and crate trained. I have taken care of senior dogs until they cross the rainbow bridge. I can administer medication. I have 3 dogs now. One lab, one english bulldog and one pekingese that absolutely loves other dogs. They love when their dog cousins and dog friends come to play!! We also have 3 cats. One thinks she is a dog, and another ignores them, as they are peasants to her. One is almost blind and uses the dogs as seeing eye dogs, following their legs. I have an 18 year old girl, and two 15 year old boys who absolutely love animals. And will help any visitors feel welcome in our home.
