I have owned dogs all my life. I just had to put my 13 year old Chihuahua named Cookie down, it was very hard for me but it was best for her. Cookie got the best care I could give her, she has the same vet for 10 years and she only ate Science Diet food, no table food. I love dogs and I want to help with others. let me sit with your babies or take them for a walk, I would love to do it for you! I am sitting due to working during the week all the time and I don't have time to fully devote to a dog of my own. I am gone to much and it wouldn't be fair so I felt this would be a good alternative to having my own dog at this time.
