I have been raised with dogs and cats my whole life. My current dog is a 12 year old Lhasa Apso who has arthritis. I have to give her meds daily. I take her on walks to make sure she gets enough exercise and help to keep her at a healthy weight. I believe in showing her as much attention as possible. She is a very important part of our family. I always dreaded leaving her when I would go on vacation. When you are gone, I will also show your pet love and affection. I don't want you to worry about your pet when you are gone. They will be in good hands! You will come back from vacation to a very happy dog!
