Hello! I’m Johnny! I’d like to start out by thanking you for taking the time to visit my profile. I hope I can bring a wonderful service to you and your fur babies! I’ve owned many dogs my entire life (with the exception of now, my current apartment doesn’t allow dogs or cats) and grew up with multiple breeds ranging from German shepherds, dachshunds, chihuahuas, golden retrievers, and pit bulls. My last dog, Friday, a Basset Hound and Australian Shepherd mix, lived out a full life and died of a stroke. I had her for 8 of the 16 years of life she had on a farm in Texas. One day, during the last few weeks of her life, her back legs went out, she was drooling excessively, and had no control of her bladder. I took her to a local vet, who was also one of the first people to clone a cat in Texas A&M. He told me it was possible she had a stroke but he couldn’t detect anything. He sent me home with some special, soft dog food, and medication. I had to hand feed her the wet dog food because she couldn’t stand up. This went on for 2 weeks, with me also taking her outside and getting her to move her back legs again. She started walking again, and then for a few days she was almost completely back to normal. This was short lived however. 2 days later she had completely deteriorated worse than she was, and had to be put down. She had a series of small strokes and one big one, and she never came back from it. She was the last dog I owned. This was 5 years ago. However, last fall, I had the opportunity to rescue a pit bull. His name is Tyr, and he is the one you will find in my photos. Tyr was locked in a crate for almost 6 days. A close friend and I rescued him, and I brought him to his new owner, a very close friend of mine where he is currently getting lots of love. He is not in my care full time, as I mentioned before, I cannot have animals in my current apartment, or else I would have taken him in a heartbeat. I do sit and visit him regularly however. I take him on hikes, super long walks, get him doggie ice cream, and lots of time wrestling and tug of war. He is super energetic,so long walks are necessary to burn off all that excitement. So, if you need a motivated, energetic individual to match energy with your excited ball of fuzz, I’m your man! Long walks and hiking trips are definitely in your doggies future.
