I was raised on a ranch in Carmel Valley where I was able to have animals. I've always had a dog, but also cats, sheep, chickens, and horses. I enjoy all animals, though my favorite has always been dogs. I live on acreage with a large fenced-in area for dogs that allows for safe and secure roaming, or for resting under one of the many white oak trees. I have one outdoor feral cat that comes for meals in the morning and evening, and I have one dog, a Queensland Healer named Reid that I rescued last May, who is approximately 6 years old with a mild and playful disposition. I love going for hikes. I'd enjoy taking your dog for hikes at Garland Ranch or other local parklands.
