When you were little, did your parents ever leave you with their parents so they could get a break from being parents, and your grandparents lavished attention on you? When it comes to dogs I'm "the grandparents." Check out my photos to see a gazillion examples of dogs being spoiled rotten in all the right ways; lounging on couches, napping on beds, playing tug of war, making friends with neighbor dogs, going on car adventures, chasing tennis balls, and all the cuddles and affection they’ll put up with. The only requirement I have is that a dog have the ability to calm down and take it easy. All breeds are welcome. Puppies and high-energy working dogs are great, but I can’t provide an environment to meet their needs and am unable to sit them. The reason for this is my Odin is getting older, and his idea of a good time is a long slow walk followed by a longer nap, and he just can’t emotionally handle high-energy dogs like puppies or working breeds. I am comfortable administering pills, eye drops, and insulin injections, as well as other age-related tasks such as applying doggy diapers, and following detailed food/medicine instructions to the letter. I try to put myself inside the mind of each dog, to understand the needs, wants, and emotions which make up their inner life. In all things I make sure not to show favoritism to my Odin, your dog is a full and equal member of our pack while staying with us.
