I currently have 2 Weimaraners (pups) & 3 cats (my girls have a mind of their own/got to love them). My husband & I have found these furry blessings to be our children, literally. My dogs are males almost 12 yrs old & almost 9 yrs. We got them at 9 & 10 weeks old. I can't imagine my life w/out them. They have brought me so much joy & love. I literally treat them like my children. For almost 12 yrs my life has consisted of plenty of dog walking, ball throwing, dog bathing, wet kisses & tons of snuggling & I wouldn't have it any other way!!!! I have been a nanny for the past 10 yrs. So for 5 of those yrs the 1 family (and another family) that I had been nannying for had gotten a puppy. I had been in charge of potty training/other obedience training. I am the one who cared for the pup about 12 hrs (5 days a wk) a day along w/ the children. The pup would go on walks, outings w/ the children, playground, pool, etc. I was also in charge of bathing the dog {myself) at times or when need be I would take her to the groomers to get her nails trimmed & groomed. Also take her to vet visits. I totally loved this little girl like my own. I look forward to loving your furry children just like I do my own!!!!!!!
