Hello my name is Marie, I am a dog lover and have had many pets all of my life. I have a large fenced in yard and my house is very dog friendly. I. am retired and am home full time of which i like to spend with my dog a small poodle mix who sleeps with me every nite. I also have some medical background and am aware if a pet is not doing well or needs medical care...My nephew is in the military and have watched his two 90 lb labs for months at a time and when they leave my home feels empty. I really do enjoy having pets around. and am very good with them especially if i am making them home made beef stew lol . Or giving them doggie ice cream treats.
