Ive had dogs all my life either you are a dog person or not.I worked in an animal hospital in my 20s I understand the care and attention it takes. I am a stay at home care giver for people & pets. Ive had dogs all my life ive had the health needy breeds (shar pei) and the easier ones. If were up 2 me id had too many. I currently have a 2 year old pug named Maggie she is adorable and gets along with all dogs.she is still a puppy in my eyes very playful & energetic. I also trim nails bathe, groom, and all of daily esentials. I know how people feel about leaving a pet behind but rest assured they will be in the best care
