I am a veterinarian's daughter and retired farm kid who has lived with dogs and worked in clinics and boarding facilities for a looooooong time. I have plenty of experience shoving pills down throats, sticking to a variety of diets (including one animal who subsisted entirely on raw hamburger and goat cheese) and cleaning up the most vile forms of fecal matter. I am now an ESL teacher who hopes to become a more active dog walker as my classes wrap up for the summer and I have more free time for fun! I don't have room for another animal in my apartment so I'd like to live vicariously through you. I'm fine with loud, nervous and/or dog-aggressive dogs-I promise I have probably seen worse.
