I have grown up with dogs and cared for neighbors, family and friends dogs over the years. I have raised puppies and dealt with aging dogs as well. During these years I have had a dog with diabetes, cataracts, cancer, special diets, injuries and other normal things dogs love to get into. I believe dogs are part of the family and are to be treated with the same care and love. I work full time and cannot have a dog presently because of living in an apartment and feelings towards financial security for having a dog, so this is how I will get my doggy fix. I miss having a dog companion to explore with, greet me excitedly, give me kisses and of course snuggles. If there are training habits you are doing I will continue them and be a vacation for the dog. Training, socialization and time spent around daily life improves both the dog and owners equally, so I will strive to help with this.
