New info: I'm living in a house with my own yard and 6 foot high fence, with a 2nd special doggie yard attached to the house. The neighborhood is great for dog walks & is a few blocks from Wildcat Canyon...yeah!!! Cats are safe in my space as well as supervised outside in the securely enclosed yard, no holes in the fence etc, So are dogs in the doggie area...lots of fresh air and love. Presently I have two lovely indoor animal freindly kitties and a skinny guinea, with sometimes visits from my co-parented old girl other animal freindly Aussie. I have raised many pets, from birds, to fish, cats and dogs...I have a fourteen year old dominate female Australian Shepherd...who was definitely a handful as a puppy. With dog-training classes...I got to know myself; through this I gained her respect which is core to a good relationship between a person and an animal. I learned that calmness is contagious and that excercise relieves anxiety...and a gentle stroke to the forehead and some solid kind eye contact can instill confidence in an animal of any kind...reassure them, especially when their family is away. Most importantly, I love animals of all kinds and love to share this love with as many as possible! The animals I guardian in my own home are all rescue babies. Moto: all creatures deserve to be loved, respected and cared for. (I can sit a small dog in my home. I have 2 dog freindly kitties and a beta fish that loves activity!) I work from home...love havingbfurties around to inspire me, their companionshio brightens my day & engaging in deep conversations with them educates my perspectives! Its great to pet, walk, hije with them as part of the day. I pay attention to their sognals, body language, talk to them to understand what their needs might be. Then provide what i am able to. I listen to them & the parents requests & infirmation to see what needs need to be met during our visit.
