I am a pharmacist but my love is an

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm in Southeast Missouri. Country farm life is definitely for me. For as far back as I can remember, there was never a time that I didn't have a kitten, puppy, rabbit and even once a pot belly pig in my arms. I wanted to be a Vet but after realizing I couldn't put animals down and that I would take all of them home, I became a pharmacist. Going in to pharmacy I didn't think there would be so much overlap with the veterinary field but there is. We fill numerous prescriptions daily for all species with Dogs leading the pack. I feel this experience and background in healthcare helps me to better care for not only my dogs but all the neighbors animals as well. I have been called multiple times by friends and neighbors to doctor wounds, assess the situation provide medical care for minor illnesses and help them find veterinary clinics for more serious issues. I have rescued & fostered countless dogs and cats and I have 3 dogs of my own. I am very outdoorsy and love going to dog parks, exploring creeks, playing frisbee golf and having occasional meals at Rock-n-Brew with my 4 legged kiddos. They love "Addie's Feast" lol. Honestly I've wanted to try it because it looks so good:)

I can't think of anyone that loves animals more than Kathy. She loves, spoils and adores my dog like it's her own. She is responsible, loving, and goes above and beyond the title of "doggie sitter". Spartan, my German Shepherd pup, loves their walks to the lake and playing with her dogs. I'm a typical fur-mom and worry about my pup but I can rest assured knowing that he is well taken care of when he is with Kathy. When I pick him up he's always sad to leave, and so is Kathy.

Information Kathryn F. would like to know about your pet

I don't have a breed preference because I feel all dogs are amazing and that it is all in the upbringing. I would like them to have there vaccinations current. Also for the pups that still chew a lot, I'd like to know that they are ok in a kennel at night. I go to bed super late and get up early so this would just be for about 5 hours tops if I'm keeping dogs at my house. I am very used to cleaning up messes so if I am at someone else's house I will follow their sleeping arrangement and if uh oh's happen not a problem:)

A typical day

As long as the parents are ok with it.... -Heritage Park: Nice fenced dog park, frisbee golf, trails around a lake. -I am a runner so if the dog is able I love running buddies. (My dogs are too old to join anymore:() -Ironwoods Park: great trails and open fields away from roads -we also have amazing solid inflatable paddleboards. My big dog loves it. We went on a 3 day float with everything loaded on the board, including the 140 pound Shepard. Don't worry, I won't dognap your baby, but in warmer weather this is so much fun for those water loving kiddos. -possibilities are endless when it comes to outdoor adventurous pups but I also love my cuddle time. -i have a 14 year old deaf shih tsu and a 10 year old boxer with ACL problems. So once I carry them to the couch or bed we love to veg out and keep each other warm:)
