“The Six Golden Questions”:

What does your pet like?

Reese loves to run, and hike with us. She loves to play fetch and ride in the car. She also loves to swim, and chew on sticks (which we hate, lol).

What does your pet not like?

Reese HATES the vacuum cleaner, the words Vet and Bathtub, sends her running for cover, and she really dislikes getting her nails cut and ears cleaned. Oh, and the only food she will not eat is spinach … lol

Favourite toy?

Anything that squeaks, and tennis balls .

Favourite food?

Reese eats GO! food daily, but as treats also loves carrots, and honey glazed tim bits.

What have you learned since you have had your pet?

I ( Stephanie) have learnt that the more time I spend with my dog, the less I like some people lol. Dogs show unconditional love. They definitely have their own personality and the more time you spend with them, the more that personality comes through. We have learned you have to expect anything with a pet.

Do you have any advice for other pet owners?

If you have to think about getting an animal – don’t get one. You need to be 100% sure you want this animal for its entire life, no matter what comes up.
– There is nothing worse then seeing animals to “give away” because owners don’t have time to spend with them because of work, or new babies, because they can`t take them to their new apartment, or because the owners “developed allergies”. When you get an animal you need to factor all of these situations in before getting one.
