Currently I'm the proud momma of a a sweet and sassy calico, and a silly snuggly coon hound. I've raised beagles, pitbulls, mixed-breed doggies, fish, kitties, a snake, and also fostered beagles as a tribute to my childhood beagle, Abby, when she passed at the age of 18. Old or young, big or small, I love them all! Your fur babies will be given plenty of snuggles, attention, and love! I'll jump in and play with them and I'm not afraid of handling pets with temperaments or special needs and will be happy to send photos and updates to make you feel like you're right here with us even while you're away. I believe pets are just like people but speak a different language...if you ever asked my pets they would tell you I speak fluent cat and dog ;o) My casual demeanor and sweet voice have made me the "pied piper of animals" and often surprise others who say "my pet never goes to strangers!" Feel free to let me know what I can do to make your fur-babies feel comfortable and special while you're away.
