When I was young and someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said a Veterinarian. My love for animals and need to protect them runs strong and deep. Strays always seems to find me! My family calls me the animal whisperer as there is rarely a pet who doesn't want to be loved by me. I believe that as humans we have alot to learn from dogs about life and love. I did work for Spokanimal for a short time. However, I cried everyday because I wanted to bring them all home with me and I couldn't save them all. So, that didn't last long. But, I am confident giving oral, ear and eye medications, shots and trimming nails etc. Currently, we have one dog and a cat who acts more like a dog! I have experience caring for puppies and seniors or anything in between. Our kitty cat is very tolerant of dogs...she is the boss around here. We are an active family and can provide plenty of safe play time. We live near Otis Orchards elementary, so we have access to their large fields for fetch. It is also a great area to take a walk/run which we do often! We have two kids, 12+ years old, who are both amazing with animals. We are a non-smoker home.
