Dogs of all shapes and sizes have always been an important part of my life. I have lived with and/or cared for many dogs from pups well into their senior years. Most of my canine friends have been rescue animals. We recently said goodbye to our sweet Buffy Lou, a boxer/pit bull mix. She was eight months old (still had some baby teeth) when she jumped into my truck late one night. By the time I exhausted all efforts to find her owners, she had won a place in our hearts. She was sweet, playful and strong and one of my dearest friends for 15 years. Although she weighed 65 pounds, she was very sure she was a lap dog. I'm happy to feed, play or walk with and care for your canine friends with careful attention to your requests. Often, the hard part about being away from home is finding a caregiver for your sweet pets; then there's the lists and the details so their care will be seamless while you're away. I've spent a wealth of time on those lists when I'm leaving my pets. Rest assured that I appreciate their importance and the love it represents for your pets.
