I talk to the dogs like they are humans. I will always make sure they are happy and well cared for. Tons of petting and getting them to play. I have had dogs, cats, birds, hampsters, fish, and a couple of frogs in our home growing up and also in my own home. We also bred a Labrador for several years when my kids were young. It was such a great experience that my daughter is now a breeder in California. I have tons of experience and absolutely love it. I understand the time and care that goes into a pet. We are building a home is North Scottsdale and will soon be able to take the pet overnight at my home if need be.
