A little about why

Some kinds of care are learned by heart.

I’ve shared my home with nine dachshunds over the years. My last, Moose, had IVDD; when his back gave out, he became a “wheely dog” who needed patient, specialized care every day.

Moose and his sister Sweetpea both lived to 16. They taught me how much a dog’s comfort and dignity depend on careful, attentive hands. I bring that same devotion to caring for dogs in Austin.
