Eleven years ago I adopted my first dog, a lab/border collie and now I hang out with my new furry friend, a very friendly shepard mix. My love of dogs has been life-long; even my first word was dog! I have been watching the dogs of my friends for over ten years and enjoy them all. Spending a day adventuring around the Puget Sound area with my furry friends is my favorite thing. I live close to several parks and off-leash areas and visit them frequently. I have a fully fenced yard so playing outside is always an option although when the day is done relaxing on the couch is another great option. Caring for an elderly dog has given me experience with medications, signs/symptoms of issues and emergency medical care.
