Pet care experience

Retired Animal Lover

I have had pets since I was in my 20’s. There’s only been one year in my adult life I didn’t have a pet of my own. My Pomeranian, Hank was diabetic requiring 2 insulin shots a day for 6 years. Then came Maizee, my toy Poodle. She lived to be 15. We just lost her in October 2025. I am still mourning my tiny little love. She had heart and kidney disease and required medication three times a day. Our remaining dog is Lucy. She is a Poodle too and the love of my life, just don’t tell my husband. My world revolves around her. I make her a homemade diet about every 3 weeks and I dehydrate meat for her treats. My husband always says when he dies he wants to come back as my dog.

Safety, trust & environment

Years and years ago I lost my Dachshund to the road. I was devastated! That incident made me aware of all the dangers they can encounter.

I’m extremely selective when leaving my dogs in another’s care. If Tam wasn’t available, I didn’t go, period. She is full of love and kindness.

Schedule

I haven’t had a job outside the home for 13-14 years. Since we recently lost Maizee I have more time. My husband didn’t administer her medications. My dog, Lucy also adores her dad making it possible to be away for short periods of time.
