Willow has shown her responsibility and love of animals. We have a 16 year old dog, who comes with the unfortunate ailments that come with age, (back legs and hips are bad, and now the hearing and eyes are failing). But he's still our good, loving boy. We also have a puppy born in April, who comes with all the unfortunate ailments that come with that age! (Sharp little baby teeth, along with the ability to totally ignore anything that we say at his pleasure!). We have seen Willow show love and affection to our older boy, and babysat our poopie, whoops I mean puppie!? She was in charge while I was helping my Mom during her chemo. We had just gotten the puppy right before the trip. So pretty much every sound scared him, he was full of energy, but would still crash and need those puppy naps. Willow took him outside and played with him, and would get right down on the ground & played & played with him. My Mom got up one night and Willow was sitting inside his fencing because something scared him. So the puppy was sleeping soundly & Willow was sitting cross-legged by him watching tv! I would trust her with my pets anytime, or house for that matter. If you want someone with this kind of dedication, Willow is your girl.
