I’ve always had a deep love for animals. When my kids were young, we rescued a Basset Hound along with two cats, Boo and Iggy. After transitioning to working from home, I began fostering dogs through a rescue organization. Since then, I’ve cared for five fosters—including two five-week-old puppies. Each dog came with their own unique personality and backstory, making every experience special. One of them became a foster fail, and I now share my home with Drake, a mixed Doberman Pinscher. It’s nearly impossible not to fall in love with every dog that comes through your door. I'm in a new season of life—my kids are off working and in college, and now it's my time to for new experiences. I'm embracing the freedom to travel and work remotely, and what better way to do it than by discovering new cities at my own pace—while spending time with the sweetest furry companions along the way!
