I've been caring for pets of all sorts for thirty years having owned many different species. Currently, I have one dog in the house named Layla. She's a german shepherd mix and loves four legged friends. I've always had a special place in my heart for animals and love their companionship and personalities. My career took me into technology, but over the years, I've grown to love the active country life and try to spend quite a bit of my day outside. I enjoy working with wood, gardening, and doing outdoor activities. One of these days, I hope to have a farmhouse on a bluff where I can enjoy a little slice of peace and serenity to write, play with my dogs, tend my garden and enjoy the good life!
