I prefer the company of dogs over most people. I have a connection with all animals, but dogs are my favorite because they seem to respond to me in a way that I understand. I have 3 dachshund/poodle mix dogs that I cannot imagine living without. I am a homemaker with two young adult children, so my schedule is very flexible, but my time is valuable to me. Since my time is valued, it is important that I spend it in meaningful ways. I will take care of your family member in a way that is not only beneficial for the both of you, but is an extention of my values. I love to be in the presence of the kind and playful spirit that dogs have to offer.
