Animals have always been in my family. Since I was very young I've cared for rabbits, cats, dogs and even a chicken (Miss Dumb Cluck). My fur family have lived long and healthy lives due to love, nuturing, training and lots of play time. I welcome caring for senior pets that have special needs and assisting young pups in training stages is always fun! Now that I have chosen to enjoy early retirement, I am choosing to surround my life with animals while staying active, meeting new people and hiking the surrounding mountains, beaches and hiking trails that are all around me. I am blessed to live on a large property with a beautiful forest walking trail. Our home garden and deck are gated and fenced creating a safe environment for lounging in the sun or checking out the wild birds feeding in the organic garden.
