My family always had dogs when I was growing up, I was the kid who always took care of them and trained them. As an adult I've had 2 dogs, a border collie mix I got while in college and a Jack Russell (deaf) we adopted from a rescue facility. We've been regular dog sitters for friends and family and love it! We have a 4 year old, Mookie. He is a French Brittany. He's friendly and loves to play! We also just inherited a 12 yo lab named Magellan. He's such a sweet old boy, he plays with Mookie and loves to chill. We're active and like hiking and walking with dogs, tossing a ball is always fun too! Snuggling is always a favorite with Mookie and our guest doggies! :-) We have a large fenced yard with room to run and chase and play! I don't work during the summer months (school dist employee) and frequently take our dogs and guest doggies to high school baseball games :-)
