My earliest memory is of when I was about two years old, my mom woke me up to watch a liter of pitbulls being born. Since then we had dogs until recently, and now we have two ferrets and two cockatiels. One of the ferrets we adopted because she wasn't socialized, and we trained her, as much as you can train a ferret, to be social. My mom is also a dog groomer, so I've learned a lot about dogs from her. I've also worked with older dogs, watching them for family friends, and I don't have a problem with older dogs. Also, big dogs who might pull a little bit aren't a big problem. A pitbull I would walk when i was young would pull a bit, so I learned how to deal with that.
