I've had many years experience with a yellow lab and a Papillon. Several years experience with cats. I love to hike and take the dogs with me. I am a retired 911 dispatcher after 20 years of work which I really enjoyed. Now I like to get off of the chair away from the phones and stay active especially with four-legged Buddies. For Years I walked on the beaches of Florida with a yellow lab and after that we climb the mountains together. I just adopted a foster cat which I am finding out cats really are great pets to have but I no longer have dogs at least not at this time. Keeping occupied by taking care of other dog's this is something I really enjoy.
