Dogs are this girls best friend

Pet care experience

I’m a super compassionate every type of animal lover and I have patience and knowledge. I had a Tibetan Terrier growing up named Smudge and I still remember the day my parents surprised my sister and I with her. I was 9 years old but it felt like an eternity that I’d begged for her. I quickly became her person and was hooked on being the best mommy I could be. She lived to just shy of 16 years. I also had a Catahoula Leopard Dog/American Bulldog mix four 12 1/2 years. He was my actual heart. My son on four legs Ninety pounds of muscle and love. He was my baby but being a “bully breed”, it took a firm understanding of how to handle misbehaviors. He was trained well and I prided myself on being the person all my family and friends call when they have training questions. It may sound silly but I’m strong and can handle large breeds and maybe even train them on leash depending on how often I walk them. He developed bone cancer, but was in perfect condition mentally and physically otherwise so we decided to amputate. I cared for him day in and day out until he became strong again. Unfortunately, the cancer came back six months later, and my sweetest boy had to go to Heaven this past September. It is one of the worst losses I have ever suffered I have lots of love and patience. Currently I recently adopted a wonderful boy, named copper brings me so much joy and of course could never replace Leo but I would love to watch your pup to bring him a friend to play with! I’m a Caesar Milan follower and have a deep love and understanding of animals, especially dogs.

I have a fully fenced yard with a lot of space to run and play. I have one dog named copper, who is a complete love and wants a friend, so your pup would be perfect here. I absolutely hate leaving my boy so I will send you pictures, videos anytime you want. I know I’d feel most comfortable with leaving him if the person watching him was videoing and sending me a picture every few hours especially in the beginning and I seriously dont mind what so ever ! I’m here for you and your fur baby and would love to know you had a better time away because I could help you know your best pal is safe and cared for with me !
