I am committed to the health and well being of all animals. I have had pets my entire life and greatly respect the place they fill in our emotional lives. If there is anywhere that humans should spend a little extra time, it's with our furry companions...and maybe out in nature or doing yoga. Our lives are better for knowing and caring for them. I have been fortunate enough to enjoy life with dogs of all sizes and types and understand some of the breed specifics well. This is helpful in meeting new dogs and establishing a relationship with them. My two cats are uncertain at the best of times, but that's really unavoidable. We are a hiking family also, so if your dog friend likes a good hike then we'll really hit it off.
