i have taken care of miss muffin for 9 years now..I have given shots to myself..as long as Im not asked to find a vein. An animal wants to be loved...I do not yell or hit animals..if an animal does not like you she won't listen to you...I do not teach animals specific things. But your babe will be loved like she is our own and treated like family.. she won't be put in a kennel and ignored.we are home most times...and we won't leave her alone in our home. I'd like to do this part-time....I work from my home...Iam available most times..but I can't guarantee I'll always be available.. nobody can..I'd rather know ahead of time when u need someone..I'm not always available at the spur of the moment... My 9 pound mixed terrier will be here..she is a loving ..laid back easygoing girl...she does not bite.if she is threatened she will growl and then I will pick her up..and take her away from the threat..we promote friendliness and happiness in our home...Also there are two adults that live in our home..there will always be one of us here when we are taking care of someone's dog.
