When I was younger I had a dog named “Toby”. He was a big, beautiful German Shepherd. Amazingly, Toby was the toughest dog in the neighborhood, he never lost a fight. Not that we were in the dog fighting business, Toby could handle himself well, significant as we (my siblings and I) weren’t much of fighters back then. I say all of this to note that Toby, while a dog, contributed to the personality of our family. People knew that the “Bensons” had a dog ; you couldn’t just go to their house /home and do whatever you wanted.
So, you ask where is this rambling headed? Pets are just as much a part of the family as people, they get their say in the family process (intentionally or not), GiGi, Duce & Jade (our three Yorkies) are as much a part of my life as my children, notice I did not say my Wife/Boss…
Pets, like all the other family members must be cared for and taken care of. Accordingly, a Doctor must be in the house to take look after them too. Today we talk to Dr. Paul Norwood, Veterinarian, on the health, management and upkeep of pets, dogs or whatever you may have.
