I often take my dogs on hikes or scenic walks as well as the usual walk in the neighborhood. I’d like to go on runs with my dogs, unfortunately they’re unathletic, so I will borrow a dog from my neighbors or work to run with. I often carry a portable dog bowl on longer/hotter walks and treats for any opportunity to train or distract them if they are reactive. I love playing fetch and tug-of-war with my dogs and providing mental games with lick mats and snuff mats. Since my dogs are white, they get many baths and I find ways to make them more comfortable (I’ve also had to give my cats a fair share of baths). This includes filling the tub with warm water before they are in the room, laying a towel down in the tub for better grip, and using a cup instead of the shower head so the noise doesn’t scare them. My dogs are not crate trained but where I work, all the dogs are crate trained. My pets get two meals a day with a very complicated mix of ingredients and a few treats throughout the day. I am used to waking up early to let the dogs out to go potty and/or letting chickens out of the coop. One of my dogs is very old and receives daily medications and she also has incontinence and I am therefore used to administering medication as well as cleaning up many accidents. One of my dogs is also blind and deaf so I have experience caring for special needs in dogs.
