I have lived with and cared for dogs all of my life, except for a sad ten year lapse when I was in college and in apartments that wouldn't allow them. I was in the restaurant business, and I sold my last restaurnant a few years ago. I guess you could say I am retired, but I like to keep busy. What better way to keep busy than visiting and playing with dogs! I have a lot of energy as well as patience. I currently have two small chihuahua mutts, and two siamese cats. If your dog likes hanging out with me and my dogs, then we'll be one happy family. This is fun work for me, and really when it's fun, it's not really work!
