Growing up in the south, our family is full of animal lovers that bread golden retrievers. We always had two dogs (Gretal & Gandolph). My grandparents had cocker spaniels & English springer spaniels. We are now a Frenchie family with Biggie (8) and Boomer (5). I’ve rescued animals as well and believe animals deserve good homes and love just like humans. I make sure my dogs are always hydrated with water and eat healthy. Morning sunrise walks and walks through the day with cuddles and belly rubs in between. Play time is important too along with sunbathing on sunny days. For two years, I took care of my grandparents (one with Alzheimer’s & one with stage 4 lung cancer). Cooking, cleaning, taking them to doctor’s visits, helping with home care, organizing weekly pills, exercise, card games, story telling, trips and providing updates to my family across the US. Interesting fact about me, I was bitten in my face by a friends dog about 10 years ago. I had 5 surgeries on my mouth. This did not impact my love for dogs. In facts I love them more now and have a strong connection with animals. Sadly, the family’s dog bit their son two weeks prior to my bite. Life happens and it helped me to become more connected with animals and people with disabilities.
