I have my own dog, cooper and a cat, Mimilaka, which I have been loving for 5 years. Mimi is independent and loves exploring, catching mice and napping in the trees. Cooper and I love hiking together. Cooper was a rescue, and I approach training very gently as he had trauma before we adopted him. Now my focus is to create a healthy environment for all of my animals. Trust and patience is very important for your pets. You have to remember that they are not able to voice everything, so be a positive voice for them! Before Cooper and Mimi I had a dog named Duman, he was a husky and unfortunately passed away from cancer. I miss him a lot and know that him and cooper would’ve been best buds. I also had a cat named Tucker, an orange tabby. He was the best cat, he passed away from old age. I honor and remember those pets forever. I work at a barn part time and have been caring for horses since I was 10 years old. Animals are very special to me!
