I grew up in a home that loves dogs and have had the joy of having many big hearted pups to care for. My first dog Zeno (a loveable well mannered chocolate brown Labrador) was a member of the family before I was even born! Then my family adopted a 8year old dog named Notrump (english springer spaniel mix). I learned to care for an older dog and take her different set of needs into account when walking, playing, and planning extra time for her naps. On the other end of the spectrum my most recent dog Puccini (black Labrador) was rescued when she was only 3 months old. She was a high energy bundle of love and excitement. When caring for her I learned how to walk bigger dogs (she was a full 90lbs) and made sure she was getting proper amounts of love and exercise each day.
