Rod is great with animals, and he's been a wonder with my pets! My little pup, Gary is kinda what you'd call "special needs" (Total sweetheart, but not a whole lot going on) and my other baby, Shnaut is definitely the bossy captain of that ship. I recently had to get Shnaut spayed and it was a nightmare from the get go. During her recovery I had to work (I hated leaving them!) and Rod was there every day while I was gone comforting both of them during that stressful time (Gary gets super sensitive with stressful situations), giving them attention and making sure Shnaut got her medications that whole week. If it weren't for him I really don't know what I would've done in the situation. He was an amazing help and he was completely respectful of my time, space and most importantly, my babies. Cheers to you, Rod!
