We always had a dog growing up. I got my own 11 years ago as a puppy. She’s well trained and so sweet! I had a pup that I rescued from the streets of Memphis but had to put him down. My experience with him brought knowledge of administering medications and cleaning and re-bandaging wounds. He had cancer and so I have first hand experience caring for a sick baby. I also house sat for a whole month for a blind and deaf,15 year old dog. I worked as an in home dog trainer for just under a year for a local company, as well.
