I've been a dog lover my whole life, and never been without a dog in my life longer than a month. Beyond doting on my own dogs (all rescues), I'm the person who pulls over to the side of the road to catch loose dogs and reunite them with their owners or climb fences to stop dogs from running into traffic. There is no such thing as a bad dog. Every breed or mix has its own temperament and energy level, as well as individual personality. I can adapt to any dog's needs and their prescribed disciplinary requirements - whatever rules the owner enforces, I do too! Grooming is also a very satisfying task - most dogs love to be groomed to some extent, and those that don't, learn to love it after I work with them for a while. I am also a vigilant de-flea-er, going so far as to spend hours combing and pinching every flea, tick, or egg off myself. Essentially, whatever a dog needs, I live for providing it!
