Since my retirement, I adopted 3 wonderful dogs. My border collies and lab are at the center of importance in my daily schedule. When running errands, timing revolves in meeting their needs. Schedule and routine creates stability. When you add love and affection, you have a winning combination. My dogs are so loving and gentle. To describe our relationship, I often say: My pets allow me to live with them, and I will handle your pets in the same way in becoming an extended member of your pet's family. You will receive continual communication to reduce your separation anxiety. No matter whether you are away for business or vacation, my goal is make it as pleasant as possible for both the parents and your pampered pet members of the family.
