I was the pet-mother to a golden retriever for 13.5 years named Brinkley. He was the center of my universe. He passed away a few months ago to cancer and I'm not ready to get another dog yet but I would like to transfer my love and attention to other people's pets. I remember when I'd have to travel for work, how difficult it was to find someone who would take care of Brinkley the way I would. It got to the point where my parents would have to fly in to care for him when I traveled for longer periods of time. You can trust that I'll be just as obsessive about their care & needs. I work from home & have a big yard & they'll get a lot of attention.
