Have a great day tomorrow! Once the tour is finished you’ll have plenty of processing time in a familiar environment. I’d just put the thinking...
Agree that choosing a dog with a steady, low anxiety temperament is 90% of it....
If you saw my city dog in the waiting room you’d feel better :D He wants to charge up to all the other patients, especially cats. So if we’re not...
