I’ve learned so much from caring for my own dogs over the years. My first dog was a husky–wolf mix we rescued at age two and cared for until he was fourteen, which taught me patience, commitment, and senior dog care. I also adopted my current dog as a puppy—a corgi—giving me hands-on experience with puppy routines, training basics, and daily care. In addition, I’ve cared for many dogs of all sizes and ages, from small breeds to large breeds, puppies to seniors, including dogs who require medication. Each experience has helped me become a more attentive, adaptable, and reliable caregiver.
