Have had four dogs throughout my life. A lab, two setters and a pit. I hike 3 times a week and walk all the time. Currently have an Irish setter 1.5 yrs old. I spend alot of time playing music and hanging around with other friends who have dogs. Love a dog that can swim around a lake with me. I am into ecology and am a botanical enthusiast. I have a degree in bio medical engineering from SUNY Binghamton. Don't work full time due to lyme disease (from so much hiking). I Love art and music. If you want your dog to listen to certain music let me know. I used to be a chef at a food co op and am an avid gardener.
