Hello! My name is Lisle. I went to Miami University in Ohio were I majored in accounting. I have worked in corporate accounting for the past 5 years but am currently a full time student pursuing my masters in Integrated Marketing and Communication at Northwestern University. I have a lifetime of personal experience with dogs. My family dog, Basil, is a 16.5 year old miniature schnauzer. I have taken care of her since she was a puppy, teaching her tricks such as shake, roll over, and how to ring a bell when she needs to use the bathroom. I grew up in the Boston area and moved to Chicago about 5 years ago. Basil still lives in Boston with my parents, but when my parents go on a long vacation they don't trust her with anyone else and will either bring her to Chicago for me to watch or I will travel to Boston. Now in her old age she is deaf and almost completely blind. I have to walk her constantly, put diapers on her, give her various oral medicines and eye drops. I love Basil and take care of her as if she was my child. I share the same love for all dogs and will show the same care for your furry friend!
