I have always felt it is my responsibility to keep animals happy, safe, and active. I enjoy using multiple tools like regular walks, visits to area parks, and playing with toys to keep them feeling loved and engaged. My husband and I have a large relaxed home environment with running around space which is both indoors and outdoors. I am artist and have a studio in my home- but love being outside and exploring the outdoors with my dog and others. My husband and I just relocated to Chicago from Colorado. Joe took early retirement from the United States Geological Survey and I ran an art center in Grand Junction, CO. We have a rescue dog Rosie who is boxer and greyhound. I am trying to surround myself with the things I love most - family, friends, art and animals.
