I have grown up with big dogs my whole life (my deceased dog Napoleon was my best friend-- hit me up for photos). I think that every dog is special and sweet and even the grumpy ones just need love and sweetness :) Right now I have two cats in my apartment and a tervuren shepherd named Leo back home. I trained Leo as a little as a puppy and it has been such a joy to watch him grow into the big sweet guy that he is. I love playing with dogs, walking and cuddling them. I am very patient and willing to work with special needs as I have had to care for my grandmother's diabetic toy poodle for a long time. Healthy diet and exercise are very important to me when it comes to the caretaking of animals because when they are such a big part of our lives-- our family-- we want to keep them around as long as possible and the best way to do that is to keep them healthy early on. I am pretty available though I do work a full time job. I'm pretty flexible and am mostly here to have fun!
