I have owned 4 dogs: Dalmatian/lab mix, Australian Shepherd mix, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and a Plott Hound. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my most current dogs: a corgi (10 years old, blind and deaf, had a brain tumor) and plott hound (4 years old, mega-esophagus, and possible unknown neurological disorder) - and at the same time. I am very well versed with special needs dogs, implementing special care (needles, meds, etc). All in all - I very much know my way around the canine world :)
