I grew up on a dairy farm where we had dogs, cats, cows, and ducks. Our farm dogs were shepherds, a corgi, and a lab-airedale mix. I have been caring for animals most of my life. I had a chocolate lab name Mocha for 13 years until she had to be put down for congestive heart failure. I've had my cat, Molly, for 9 years, and my lab-shepherd mix, Obi, for 3 years. I trained both Mocha and Obi from pups, including house-breaking and basic commands. I also dog sit my sister's dog, Lance, who is a corgi-golden retriever mix, when they go on vacation. I am a full time teacher at a local high school, so until June, I am only available Monday, Tuesday, and Friday evenings, and weekends. In summer, I will be available throughout the week during the day. I have a large yard, and our home is at the end of a cul-de-sac, but it is not fenced. There are multiple parks near my home, Couselor Park, Rocky RIdge Park, Pinchot Park, and John Rudy Park, all with multiple trails. John Rudy Park also has three fenced dog parks. My dog Obi is incredibly sweet and friendly, but he is big, 70 lbs, and may be intimidating to smaller dogs. He is not aggressive at all with other dogs. I also have three kids, ages 18, 14, and 12. My 14 year old sin and 12 year old daughter may join me on pet walks or play dates, they both love animals.
