I have owned and cared for all breeds of dogs from pugs to shepherds for over 15 years. Each breed, I have learned, is different in the type of care it needs. My love for dogs began when my parents surprised me with my first black lab when I was 5 years old. I was able to enjoy a loving and energetic life with her for 15 years. I was fortunate in helping my mother breed and raise beautiful pugs for several years as well. I am a very out-going and energetic person who loves to hike with dogs and loves to help them burn off their energy while being outside or even playing hide and seek inside. I am the type of dog lover who will interrupt someone walking their dog just so I can say hi to it.
