I have always had a dog when I was younger and have always taken care of them. I have also taken care of others dogs. I've taken them out specified by the owner so I wouldn't ruin the schedule, fed them the times that they are used to being fed, and taken them for walks. I have also given them baths when needed. I allow dogs on furniture only if used to it otherwise no. I do prefer them to be off furniture. We have a new addition to the family and that's 4 Americano chickens. They have been so interesting and little by little are starting to come to us. They do love their treats and we love seeing then come to us when shake the bag.
