Macomb Dog Walker @ Macomb

I love all furbabies. Dogs especially are my passion.
I had my first dog, a Chihuahua, when I was eleven years old. I watched my best friend be born. Ever since Rusty, I have been a dog enthusiast. I have studied dog breeds since I was fourteen, and I am currently saving to carry out my dream of becoming a dog trainer, hopefully at Victoria Stilwell's Dog Training Academy. I have experience with helping dogs through seizures, and scared dogs. I rescued my current furbaby, Atlas, from an abusive home when he was five months old. It took almost two months to get him to play like a puppy should, instead of cowering from a thrown ball. I also helped take care of our beloved Bear, who we thought would live forever. He was the best Blue Heeler in the world. He went blind about a month before he passed away at almost 16 years old, and we helped him get around inside and outside. Working with and being around dogs is my passion.

I also have been a fish keeper for 7 years. I have a great amount of experience with fresh water fish.

I have a great amount of experience with cats, as well. I helped birth a litter of cats when I was twelve years old, and the mom cat didn't want to let them eat, so I was up every two hours with them for the first four weeks, at first making the mom feed her kittens, then syringe feeding them, when I had to wean them for them to survive. I have almost always had a cat and dog companion, of course usually more than one.
