My experience with pets ranges from elderly large dogs to less than year old puppies. Over the years I have had pets that have developed special needs so I became well versed in giving medications and helping them when walking has gotten a little too difficult. On several occasions I have helped to care for elderly dogs that needed that little bit more patience and assistance. On the other end, I have raised two dogs from puppies to adulthood. Walks/play time are done in my fenced backyard and a good game of ball works well with more energetic dogs. I've also found a good game of keep away is good for both of us. I have very similar experience with cats. I have adopted several older cats so I'm good at giving medications and helping them get around. I've also adopted a couple of kittens so, like the dogs, the energy is there when they decide it's play time. I've had cats and dogs my entire life of all different breeds and sizes. Each one is unique and I feel I can roll with whatever each pet brings to the table. While I have this experience the owner's wishes and the pet's health are top priority.
