I personally have a dog of my own. I have had her since she was 4 weeks old and she's now going on 14. I'm able to administer medicine, if need be. I was responsible for giving my mom's dog phenobarbital, for his seizures, twice a day. I give each and every one of the pets love and attention. They all get their own love time from me. I'm able to handle just about any breed of dog. I've never been abusive to any animal. I actually get quite irate if I see someone abusing an animal. I will not sit quietly by, if I can help in any way at all. I love animals of all species. I'm able to give my undivided attention to the animals I work with.
