I lost my parent's dog "Cody"whom I took care of as my parents were elderly...I even learned how to cut his hair and took care of all his other needs....I miss him dearly.....He lived to be almost 14 years old, but not long enough....If "love" could have saved him, he would have lived "forever".............I now have time on my hands to devote to caring for "smaller dogs" like my "Cody".....I only want to work "days" in the beginning.
