Well begin is half done!
Once a dog lover always a dog lover! His love for animals is as old as he is, and on asking about beginning of this comradeship, he replied, “Yes, I always had pets since childhood, my mum really loved and cared for animals, so we had dogs, cats and injured birds as pets around and I clearly remember my first pet dog named Sandy (adopted). In total, I had seven dogs, cats in and out and some birds who were let loose once they were nursed back.”
On asking if there was anyone special, he replied that it’s not fair, “All have had a special place…‘Blonde’ who passed away three years ago was the matriarch of the current lot.”
Pawtails!
“Bingo, a black cross bred played with me when I was young. We dropped a bottle of milk on the floor while playing and so we both hid under the bed to avoid getting caught by mom and dad. Each time someone would come to get me out, he would growl and come closer, so no one would touch me…we lay there ‘hiding’ for almost three hours,” he chuckled.
On responsible pet parenting…
As per Keith it is very important to know your pet and understand their temperament, that’s how they communicate. “Also make sure to give them plenty of exercise. Never over-feed your pet and also groom them well…that’s like getting fresh clothes every day. Talk to them, they understand more than you think,” he concluded.
