Hello! I have been a dog owner/lover my entire life, and always will be. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I have always treated them like my own children. Currently I have 4 dogs - 2 Chihuahuas, 1 rescue Dachshund, and a rescue Terrier mix. Three of the four are elderly, and one of the Chihuahuas has dealt with orthopedic issues her whole life. She has "bad knees", and has always walked with a limp - which only makes her all the more lovable! I am retired and all my kids are grown and moved out. I enjoy going to the gym, cooking, gardening, and hanging out with my husband! My knowledge about dogs is vast, and I will welcome your pet into my home like it is one of my own!
