With older kids, my dogs are my friends & guests during the day. We do everything together and I talk to my dogs all day long! (In a sane way. Haha.) Dogs have always been a part of my life & I respect, admire and unconditionally love them! They truly are man’s best friend and I would willingly do anything for them. That said, I understand pack rules and expect dogs to engage and play within boundaries. If someone is having a bad day (we all do) I believe in a little alone time until they feel happier. Experience ranges from my Grandparents farm puppies, rehabilitating a previously abused Sheltie & caring for a Pomeranian with cancer. I even did my Dental Hygiene baccalaureate thesis cleaning canine animals mouths at a veterinary hospital! And a dozen or so dogs of my own: Maltese, American Eskimo, Mutt, St Bernard, Lhasa Apso, Poodle. I am happy to answer any questions or concerns before your visit. I also would love to communicate via text throughout my guest’s stay - to make it the best experience for everyone!
