I've owned a German shepherd for 10 years. I take very good care of her- we usually go on a walk everyday and after that, I brush her thick coat. Then I brush her teeth and maybe cut her nails. I clean her poop from the backyard and from walking everyday, I bathe her myself, and my family and I all contribute to feeding her. She constantly has an ear infection and I take care of that myself. I clean her face, wipe the dirt from her eyes, clean her paws before she comes in the house, always making sure she's looking clean and pretty. I also love other dogs! I'm always open to watch other peoples' dogs and I'm willing to clean up after their messes.
