There are few things I love more in life than fur babies. I take my own doggo, Luna, with me pretty much wherever I go and when I dog sit, he/she gets the same treatment (unless otherwise specified of course). I'm always posting photos of fur babies on my Instagram, and am frequently asked if I've adopted yet another dog. (Answer: I wish!) I've had dogs my entire life. My family's first dog was basically my guardian when I was a baby and after he passed, I was about 10 when my family got a shih-tzu puppy, whom I trained. In college, I realized I simply could not live without a dog of my own, so when I moved into my first apartment, I got a mini schnauzer puppy (Luna) after doing extensive research on dog training and a dog that would fit my lifestyle. I also have a beautiful little calico cat, Lily. I'm not sure which she likes more - food or snuggles. Like most cats, she's skeptical about new people and animals, but has really come out of her shell and is much less skittish since I adopted her. I was never really a cat person until I moved to Austin and was staying with a friend who had two, but now I love them all. I trained Luna based on general research as well as reading the Cesar Millan books, so I focus on positive reinforcement. Currently, I stay up-to-date on the latest in the animal world by reading pet news on Wide Open Pets.
