Diana, No matter how old you are it will wear on you haha!! I am going thru having a 10 week old puppy in the house that is 2 and a half pounds with a great dane, doberman and a husky, and 5 other chis and an italian greyhound... I live in Chicago, IL. Im not a rescue, my husband and I dont have human children by choice. We love our dogs and we have rescued a bunch from bad situations. So they are all ours :-) People think we are nuts but I do have my own pet sitting business and my husband is a fireman/paramedic so we are home alot!! I have worked in various vets over the years including an animal emergency clinic. So I have a strong veterinary background which helps in their care. I am lucky right now because my group is young. Fell free to email me too if you like!! [email protected]
