Hi, I have been a stay at home mom since my first child was born who is now going to school back east in Connecticut. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. As a child our family had German Shepherds. As an adult my family has had Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Our first was a female who lived to be 10 years old, her name was Sally. I now have a 10 year old male Rhodesian Ridgeback. His name is Heatley and gets along with any animal or person. He is a sweetheart. I enjoy walking, hiking and gardening. I also have experience taking care of bunnies and rabbits, fish, chickens, reptiles and birds. It was be a pleasure to help you and your pet. Thank you.
