I have cared for pets of all types, except snakes, for 45 years: horses, raccoons, groundhogs, cows, pigs, sheep, and numerous dogs and cats. I have delivered kittens, hand-raised skunks and a deer who were orphaned. Specific Dog Breeds: Husky, Pit-Bull, Boxer, Pekingese, Beagle, Labrador, Golden Retriever, and many mixed breeds.
Care includes vaccinations, medications, feeding, making special food, bathing, walking, playing, cuddling, tummy-aches and other pains: arthritis, cuts, broken bones, surgery recovery. Same for Cats - breeds: American Shorthair, Siamese, Snowshoe, Russian Blue, Napoleon, American Long-Haired. Interests include animal husbandry, raising orphaned babies by bottle and species' specific needs for growth and development. I currently live with three cats, one has a heart condition. I am a very calm person that animals are attracted to, which makes caring for difficult animals easier.
I use positive reinforcement as a training method and don't believe in physically harming an animal, nor in shouting at an animal. I have babysat most recently two additional adult cats; a miniature poodle who only eats chicken nuggets and likes to escape through small openings, an OCD cat, a chocolate lab that likes to travel and go to the beach and retrieve large items, a small terrier mix with memory problems, a diabetic spaniel and many more. All have a place in my heart, and in my photo album. I specialize in pet portraiture also.
