I am a dog owner myself who has been taking care of my own dogs for over 20 years. My current dog requires me to be able to administer canine medicine. I have taken care of friends dogs when asked. My dog is a submissive doggy and gets along with most dogs. She is senior dog but still acts like she is younger and would enjoy having a buddy to go on walks with. As I will not get a new puppy as she is very afraid of fireworks and guns. This fear is one I deal with especially twice a year. I have understanding of having to administer dog medicine to help a puppy to not hurt themselves during a firework event. If you puppy has same issue I understand.
