I am an owner of a smaller dog. Her name is Pippa, she's about 20 lbs. I've head her since she was 2 months old. I've trained her and gained experience through my ownership of her. I also have a cat and a fish so I have experience with those two as well. I love animals and hope to be looking after your babies!
