I've long-since earned my "bones" by raising 3 dogs from pup-hood to adult fluffinators, whilst caring for foster dogs and pets with disabilities. Having been a dog trainer in the past, I take special enjoyment getting to know every pup's strengths and level for potential. I (thankfully) work remotely, allowing time for puppy shenanigans and outdoor exercise, in everything from running to kayaking with my husky. I lived with a veterinary technician for several years, and have earned the right for on-call service from the nearby vet's if needed. I have experience handling dogs small enough to fit into one's palm, and dogs big enough to pull an ox (yes, you read that correctly). Just as we read the news and have routines for our own health, canines should have the opportunity to go on long walks for exercise and a routine sniff of "who's been around". There is more than enough love to go around!
