I have taken care of animals since I was young. Dogs have a very special place in my heart for how much attention they need (and how much fun they have). I will give them that attention (and have a ton of fun with them too). I am an artist and a retired professional track and field athlete. When I’m not caring for myself or other humans, I care for animals. It’s a priority. Being an artist, I have a very flexible schedule :) I ensure the animal is happy first off, I ensure that whatever they need in the moment I am providing for them (to a degree). I am mindful of how to interact with the animals based on the time of day, their hunger level, they’re activity level for the day, etc. I am overly mindful with pets, I absolutely adore them.
