Hello, I am a full time working mother of two. We have two cats and a dog which was my dream come true. I love and care for my pets. We spend time together outside and I enjoy watching them play with my kids. My cats are sassy my dog one of a kind. I used to be more of a cat person but then we got Hazel. She understands me. We walk together and she listens to me vent and joke and complain. Dogs are such good companions. I like to sit in our large backyard and read and my dog sits with me chewing a toy. I am patient and believe in gentleness and firm talk. I think you get more obedience from love then fear.
