I've spent 25+ yrs in management and recently left it all to take care of a family member. I have three dogs; a lab mix and two retired racing greyhounds. I've owned a blind cockapoo, been though a pregnancy with the lab mix and have transitioned the hounds from track-life (crates 23 hrs a day) to life as pets. I've relied on outside help for my own dogs, especially during the work week. When a last minute meeting or deadline came up, it gave me peace of mind the pups weren't waiting for me with crossed legs!
