I love dogs of all kinds! Especially medium-big sized dogs. My best friend for a long time was a German Shepard named Alex (I called him Bubby) anyway, I loved taking care of him when my step-mom would go out of town. We took care of a few different dogs off and on while I lived with her, and I ended up loving every single one of them. Even Bentley who was this little crazy dog. Seriously, he is crazy hyper! But the trick is to know how to calm them down. Alex would calm down as soon as he could find a ball (that was his job because most German Shepherds need a job to do). Bentley would calm down as soon as he could be cuddled up on your lap. Well, he would sort of calm down. haha! I've also been pet sitting for a lady recently who has a dog that needs to take medications. With this dog and my experience with the medications that Alex took, I feel confident in being able to handle those types of situations.
