Julie watched my (then two month old) Great Pyrenees puppy for me for a week over the summer. She was wonderful! I told her that I was trying to socialize him, so she took him all over town to meet new people and dogs. His behavior around other dogs was noticeably better when I got back. She taught him a new trick that I had been trying to get him to do for weeks. She noticed that he was teething and bought him a new toy that could be frozen to ease the discomfort in his little gums. And she took the best pictures of him that have ever been taken. She showed my Sitka so much love and affection that by the end of the week I think he liked her more than he liked me! Any dog of any age would be lucky to spend a some time with Julie.
