I've owned my own dog for over 5 years. My good friend is a Vet tech with a wealth of knowledge some she has taught me and she's always there to give great advice when I have concerns about the dogs I've owned. I've owned a 1 year old rambunctious white lab. I've owned a 8 year old tiny Katon who I rescued after years of being passed around from home to home. She originally came from a puppy mill. So I know what it's like to deal with dogs that aren't potty trained exactly and have other issues. I currently own a 10 year old Husky lab mix who is the sweetest, kindest dog who can get along with all creatures. I use to have a rabbit for years and they both coexisted in my living room with out any aggression. Just buddies. I've dog sat a handful of times at my house with various kinds of dogs.
