Well said ,
I agree!! I have made and will continue to make mistakes (in the future), but so do older people. I mean, have you not made any mistakes after a certain age? Everyone continue to learn new things until they die and sometimes to learn something you inevitably make mistakes. I did not have the most ideal childhood and it had made me tougher and more mature than people my age. I take care of my dogs the best way I can. I admit I made several mistakes here and there. However, I think as long as the person has the desire to learn and to improve to become a better owner then it is fine.
